Multiple fonts for a single label?

$

Is it possible to have a single label include multiple fonts?

I would like to use some FontAwesome glyphs in a label, but would like to match them with some text. Is there a formatting label/code I can use to do this? Or do I need to build a custom font that contains both its complement if glyphs as well as the FontAwesome glyphs? (Similarly, I would like to do the same with the Weather Icons font, too.)

I know that on Linux Kodi compiles against fontconfig, so if my inheritance is done properly there, will Kodi honor it? I don't believe so, because I get empty glyph boxes or nothing in some skins' fonts even if I have fonts with the requisite glyphs installed, but can someone clarify this?

The ultimate goal is a skin that is primarily text with contrast and colors defined by the elements/controls of the skin, using images/textures for media artwork.
