Font Awesome integration
When I need Font Awesome icons, I have to go and create them in Illustrator, rasterise them and import them into XD.
My FontAwesome ttf font family appears in the font list but it doesn't work (not applied to selection).
Ideally I would want to select FontAwesome from the font list (or as a glyph), type it, and rasterise/vectorise it.

If you need a collection of "web" icons, I created a XD project with some of my favorite sets from Icomoon.io. Feel free to download it and add your own favorite icon sets. https://adobe.ly/2m6eduh

Adding a glyphs palette would cover ANY icon fonts, not only FontAwesome

Try this link: http://www.flaticon.com/packs/font-awesome
or https://github.com/encharm/Font-Awesome-SVG-PNG
You can get all FA icons as: png, svg, psd, eps etc....

Why rasterize when you can import SVG, or is that a feature that's been added after this suggestion was posted?

+1 For Glyphs integration (Photoshop-like)

@kerry I would treat that as a bug rather than a feature if it does the same with other icon fonts.

Just copy from cheatsheet into text field.

Zach, the fonts will appear in Adobe XD on the desktop, but they won't be shown in the iOS live view on a device.

FontAwesome works fine if you copy an icon from their cheatsheet (http://fontawesome.io/cheatsheet/), paste it in a text field on XD, set font to FontAwesome.
Glyphs integration and Outline Text would be awesome on the other hand.
