I have been unable to render PDFs with beamer using RStudio and the icon package. The icons render in the html versions. What am I missing? The vignette presentation says, the icons should render in PDFs as well.

I’ve pinged the icon package author to answer your question. Cheers

Icons using PDF are only supported for fontawesome via the fontawesome CTAN package. Is the knit output displaying any issues?

No. It runs fine but shows no icons in the Beamer PDF

Try knitting the document with the ‘keep_tex’ option set to true. Then have a look through the generated .tex file for any \fa* tags. If the tags exist in the right place, then the icon package is doing what it is supposed to and there is an issue with fontawesome in beamer slides. If the tags don’t exist, or are in the wrong place, that’s an issue with the icon package.
