New Feature in Xamarin.Form with Fontawesome 5 not working

Question

I would like to use the new feature in Xamarin.Forms enabling Fonts cross-platform but I can't get it to work properly.

Version Xamarin.Forms: 4.7.0.1080

Here's part of my code.

<Button Text="&#xf2ed;"
        FontFamily="FA5Regular"
        Command="{Binding Path=BindingContext.Delete, Source={x:Reference SongsCollectionView}}" 
        CommandParameter="{Binding .}"
        Grid.Column="3" Grid.Row="0" StyleClass="Delete"/>

In app.xaml.cs:

[assembly: ExportFont("Font Awesome 5 Free-Regular-400.otf", Alias = "FA5Regular")]
[assembly: ExportFont("Font Awesome 5 Free-Solid-900.otf", Alias ="FA5Solid")]
namespace eTabber
{
    public partial class App : TxfApplication
    {
        ...

Styling:

Button {
    background-color: darkslateblue;
    color: white;
    border-radius: 5;
}

Button.Delete {
    background-color: red;
}

In the solution:

It should produce a button with a trashcan (far fa-trash-alt) but it produces a rectangle.

== EDIT ==

It maybe very well possible the alias from the ExportFontAttribute (FA5Regular) should be different. I don't see it anywhere at runtime:

Decompiled with JustDecompile and I do see the fonts in the eTabber.dll:

There's part of an answer here but can't get that to work either.

You have font awesome licence issue, Try with "solid" icons, many of them regular doesn't support.

https://fontawesome.com/download

You can find all icon code in a code files and information

For example; Four support only Solid for free lib.

/// <summary>
/// fa-4 unicode value ("\u0034").
/// <para/>
/// This icon supports the following styles: Light (Pro), Regular (Pro), Solid, Duotone (Pro), Thin (Pro)
/// <para/>
/// Introduced in '6.0.0-beta1', Last Modified in '6.0.0-beta1'.
/// <para/>
/// See https://fontawesome.com/icons/4
/// </summary>
public const string Four = "\u0034";
