Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The documentation for jsonupload says. "if you want icons and symbols, the Font Awesome font works quite well." However, I can't figure out how to display icons and symbols. I also can't figure out how to access the symbols in weathericons.ttf

Describe the solution you'd like
Add some examples in the documentation showing how to display icons and symbols like the degree symbol, arrows, clouds, battery levels, etc.

I wrote up this tutorial...
https://github.com/OpenEPaperLink/OpenEPaperLink/wiki/Tutorial:-Uploading-&-Using-Custom-Fonts,-with-examples
See if it's clear and helpful. It has examples for both the include weathericons and Font Awesome. But you should be able to use this example for any TrueType font.

For some reason, I can't see the link in the July 8 comment. When I click on it, it takes me to a blank "create a new page" on the Wiki. Not sure what I'm missing. :-(

Read the URL. Go to the Wiki. Search around, and you will find it anyway. (the page was renamed)
I did that for you: https://github.com/OpenEPaperLink/OpenEPaperLink/wiki/Uploading-%26-Using-Custom-Fonts%2C-with-examples
