I just overwrote the font settings, like so:

[data-icon]:before {
  font-family: "FontAwesome" !important;
  content: "";
  font-style: normal !important;
  font-weight: normal !important;
  font-variant: normal !important;
  text-transform: none !important;
  speak: none;
  line-height: 1;
  -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
  -moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
}

[class^="datatable-icon-"]:before,
[class*=" datatable-icon-"]:before {
  font-family: "FontAwesome" !important;
  font-style: normal !important;
  font-weight: normal !important;
  font-variant: normal !important;
  text-transform: none !important;
  speak: none;
  line-height: 1;
  -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
  -moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
}

.datatable-icon-filter:before {
  content: "\f0b0";
}
.datatable-icon-collapse:before {
  content: "\f147";
}
.datatable-icon-expand:before {
  content: "\f196";
}
.datatable-icon-close:before {
  content: "\f2d3";
}
.datatable-icon-up:before {
  content: "\f0de";
}
.datatable-icon-down:before {
  content: "\f0dd";
}
.datatable-icon-sort:before {
  content: "\f0dc";
}
.datatable-icon-done:before {
  content: "\f00c";
}
.datatable-icon-done-all:before {
  content: "\f05d";
}
.datatable-icon-search:before {
  content: "\f002";
}
.datatable-icon-pin:before {
  content: "\f276";
}
.datatable-icon-add:before {
  content: "\f196";
}
.datatable-icon-left:before {
  content: "\f104";
}
.datatable-icon-right:before {
  content: "\f105";
}
.datatable-icon-skip:before {
  content: "\f101";
}
.datatable-icon-prev:before {
  content: "\f100";
}

if you change the font from fontawesome - you have to change the content to reflect what the new font uses.
