+ - Updated core source files for Unreal Engine 5.
+ - Updated Dear ImGui to 1.87.
+ - Added ImPlot v0.13 WIP.
  - `ImGui::IsKey*` now functional with all known ImGui keys.
  - Updated input handling flow to be [standard compliant](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/4921) with Dear ImGui 1.87 which makes ImGui react better at low FPS. Will add `IMGUI_DISABLE_OBSOLETE_KEYIO` preprocessor once I've ripped out old style input.
  - Allowed `UTexture` for Texture Manager so render targets can also be rendered to quads rather than just being limited to using `UTexture2D` instances.
+ - Added the ability to instruct ImGui context to build custom fonts (like FontAwesome).

-Using ImPlot
-------------
+## Using ImPlot
+
 It's pretty easy to use ImPlot, it's pretty much the same drill as using Dear ImGui with the UnrealImGui plugin. You can see documentation on how to use ImPlot here: [ImPlot](https://github.com/epezent/implot).
 
 The only thing you won't need to do is call the `ImPlot::CreateContext()` and `ImPlot::DestroyContext` routines as they're already called when ImGui's context is created within UnrealImGui's guts.

+## Drawing a UTextureRenderTarget2D

 One might want to render viewports into the world in an ImGui window. You can do this pretty simply by generating a `UTextureRenderTarget2D` then assigning that to a `ASceneCapture2D` actor in your world. Here's some sample code for generating an correctly managing the `UTextureRenderTarget2D`:

+## Adding custom fonts
+### FontAwesome
+Adding custom fonts is fairly simple. As a more complex and more commonly done, we're going to embed and build FontAwesome 6 into the font atlas. First thing you'll need is a binary C version of the FontAwesome font along with the necessary [companion descriptors](https://github.com/juliettef/IconFontCppHeaders/blob/main/IconsFontAwesome6.h). The descriptors are pre-generated, however if you have a new version of FA you wish to use, then use the Python script in that repository. As for the binary C, you'll need to compile Dear ImGui's [binary_to_compressed_c.cpp](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/misc/fonts/binary_to_compressed_c.cpp).
+
+Once you have the necessary files, you'll need to encode your FontAwesome font using the command:
+```
+binary_to_compressed_c.exe -nocompress fa-solid-900.ttf FontAwesomeFont > FontAwesomeFont.h
+```
+The only mandatory field here is `-nocompress` as this instructs the encoder to create an uncompressed binary file (1:1) since currently there's no immediate support for compressed fonts.
+
+Move over your descriptors and your binary C font file to an appropriate location for inclusion in your Unreal Engine project. The following code is how to instruct ImGui to build the font atlas with your FontAwesome font:
+
+```cpp
+#include "FontAwesomeFont.h"
+#include "IconsFontAwesome6.h"
+
+// Add FontAwesome font glyphs from memory
+if(TSharedPtr<ImFontConfig> FAFontConfig = MakeShareable(new ImFontConfig()))
+{
+    static const ImWchar IconRange[] = { ICON_MIN_FA, ICON_MAX_FA, 0 };
+    
+    FAFontConfig->FontDataOwnedByAtlas = false; // Global font data lifetime
+    FAFontConfig->FontData             = (void*)FontAwesomeData; // Declared in binary C .h file
+    FAFontConfig->FontDataSize         = FontAwesomeSize; // Declared in binary C .h file
+    FAFontConfig->SizePixels           = 16;
+    FAFontConfig->MergeMode            = true; // Forces ImGui to place this font into the same atlas as the previous font
+    FAFontConfig->GlyphRanges          = IconRange; // Required; instructs ImGui to use these glyphs
+    FAFontConfig->GlyphMinAdvanceX     = 16.f; // Use for monospaced icons
+    FAFontConfig->PixelSnapH           = true; // Better rendering (align to pixel grid)
+    FAFontConfig->GlyphOffset          = {0, 3}; // Moves icons around, for alignment with general typesets
+
+    FImGuiModule::Get().GetProperties().AddCustomFont("FontAwesome", FAFontConfig);
+    FImGuiModule::Get().RebuildFontAtlas();
+}
+```
+
+That's it. Make sure you execute the above code once at the beginning of the first ImGui frame (or at any point of your framework where the ImGui context has been initialized correctly) and it should build the main atlas with FontAwesome inside it. ImFontConfig lifetime is currently managed via reference counting (`TSharedPtr`).
+
+### Using the icons
+```cpp
+#include "IconsFontAwesome6.h"
+
+void OnPaint()
+{
+    ImGui::Text(ICON_FA_AWARD);
+}
+```
+
+Pretty simple. Building FStrings that incorporate FontAwesome icons however gets a little trickier:
+```cpp
+FString Str = "Hello " + FString(UTF8_TO_TCHAR(ICON_FA_WAVE_SQUARE)) " World";
+ImGui::TextUnformatted(TCHAR_TO_UTF8(*Str));
+```
