Not yet, but I have an app due mid January and have to figure it out :/

@skrosoft I fixed it. My solution was to set the left edge inset and set the image property wile using the convenience initalizer included with Font Awesome.
settingsBarButtonItem.image = UIImage(icon: FAType.FAGear, size: CGSize(width: 34, height: 34))
settingsBarButtonItem.imageInsets = UIEdgeInsets.init(top: 0, left: -15, bottom: 0, right: 0)

Hi Jared, thank you, this work very well. I was following another solution I found on Internet but this one is much better.

Hello,

I was experiencing with this issue and tested it with two font awesome bar buttons and it works.

Since the content in UIBarButtonItem is just a text, it's not possible to adjust a position. So using system icons with this library should be use via image :)

Anyway thanks for the remark. I'll add this hack into a readme file.
