Font Awesome icons get smaller after installing Nerd Font

Hello guys.
I'm using i3blocks and have installed ttf-font-awesome. Everything was good until I installed Nerd Font. I installed all Nerd Fonts by script. But after that, only Font Awesome icons on my i3blocks and terminal get smaller, really small. Does anybody know how to fix this?
Thanks.

Hi,
how did you install Nerd fonts? Does it happen when you use Nerd font or in general? What is your configuration of terminal/i3blocks?

Funny. I just have the exact behavior. After installing nerd font (no matter which exactly, eg: ttf-iosevka-nerd or nerd-fonts-source-code-pro) my awesome fonts makes much smaller...

edit:
fwiw i find probably the same problem on this forum:

I guess this has something to do with fontconfig using nerd font as fallback font for symbols, in place of font awesome.

Thanks @Docbroke,
You lead me to fix this for waybar
in style.css I set the font to:

font-family: "Fira Code", "Font Awesome 5 Free"

and now waybar show correct size as before
