If you installed the Free Font Awesome version but try adding Pro icons to your web pages, they won't show. The solution to this is either you use the alternative free icons or upgrade to a Pro subscription/license.
Basic Icons You place Font Awesome icons by using the prefix fa and the icon's name.
Font Awesome Free is free, open source, and GPL friendly. You can use it for commercial projects, open source projects, or really almost whatever you want.
After some painful troubleshooting I finally worked it out.
The solution was to move the loading of HTML5Shiv from the <head> section to just before the </body> tag.
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="//html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
</body>
