Thank you so much for putting this together! Is it possible to use a similar approach to utilize FontAwesome as text on standard XAML elements like Button and Label?

I'm wanting to put a FontAwesome icon as the text of a button but am unsure of how to utilize the namespace inside of the Button element.
