I have various themes that I created last summer and fall that are based on Adaptive Theme rc2 version and built with AT Tools 8.x-1. At some point, after an update, the font awesome on those sites (only one is live) stopped working. What I would really like to do is update to AT Tools 8.x-2 and rebuild those themes with a base of 8.x-2.0. When I tried to uninstall the older AT Tools, Drupal would not let me install the new one.

I started building a new theme with a base of 8.x-2.0, and I like that one better. How can I convert my sites to a new theme?

Alternatively, how can I fix the issue with font-awesome on the older themes? (Looks like I might be stuck with this solution for the site that is live).

I can at least answer my second question. I used a totally blank rc2 theme, and the font awesome icons worked, no problem. So I can at least rebuild my old rc2 theme for the one site I have that is already live. (Lesson learned: use the latest to create a new theme, don't clone old theme code, even if it means more work to build the new theme).

Would love to be able to move forward to 8.x-2.0 instead, if I have to rebuild anyway.

Well, it turns out my theme had an older fontfaceobserver-check.js - I put in a new one, and the font awesome appeared again. When I uploaded it to the hosting site, at first it didn't work. Figured out a little trick if clearing cache doesn't pick up the change in the theme - change a theme setting in the admin dashboard such as whether attribution shows. It seems to need to recheck all the code for the theme, and that's how I got the real site to show the font awesome fonts again. Phew.

Hi Leeoh, how did you do that, I think I'm having the same problem, I don't have much experience with .js yet. See my issue here https://www.drupal.org/node/2876566

Thanks for any help on this..
