Hi Maintainer

Since the upload of fonts-font-awesome 5.0.10-1 to unstable on
2018-05-12, python-qtawesome's autopkgtests have been failing [1] with
the following error:

Testing with python3.6:
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-debci'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "example.py", line 110, in <module>
    main()
  File "example.py", line 105, in main
    _ = AwesomeExample()
  File "example.py", line 20, in __init__
    fa_icon = qta.icon('fa.flag')
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/qtawesome/__init__.py", line 125, in icon
    return _instance().icon(*names, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/qtawesome/__init__.py", line

    ('ei', 'elusiveicons-webfont.ttf', 'elusiveicons-webfont-charmap.json')

  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/qtawesome/iconic_font.py", line

    os.path.join(directory, ttf_filename)))

appears to be empty. If you are on Windows 10, please read

Windows from blocking the fonts that come with QtAwesome.
autopkgtest [17:05:08]: test command2: -----------------------]
autopkgtest [17:05:08]: test command2:  - - - - - - - - - - results -

command2             FAIL non-zero exit status 1

The autopkgtests actually started failing earlier on 2018-03-08 due to
output on stderr, which also needs to be fixed:

command1             FAIL stderr: QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not
set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-debci'
command2             FAIL stderr: QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not
set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-debci'
