	stash.addFont("fa5s", ofxFontAwesome5s::filename); // fontawesome 5, solid icons
	stash.addFont("fa5r", ofxFontAwesome5r::filename); // fontawesome 5, regular icons
}

void ofApp::draw(){
	ofBackground(0); 
	ofSetColor(255);
	ofxFontStashStyle style; 

	
	style = ofxFontStashStyle("fa4", 12, {255,255,0}); 
	stash.draw( ofxFontAwesome4::compress + "    " + ofxFontAwesome4::expand, style, 50, 100);

	style = ofxFontStashStyle("fa5s", 12, {255,255,0});
