Answer 1

I am not sure whether this is a configuration issue with migration from earlier grails versions or if font-awesome has not been migrated completely to grails 2.4.x. But I encountered this as well.

As a short (dirty) workaround, you can replace the code that causes the problem directly on the plugin.

File (replace X with your project name):

~/.grails/2.4.2/projects/X/plugins/font-awesome-resources-4.0.3.1/grails-app/conf/FontAwesomePluginResources.groovy 

Replace lines 3 and 4 with:

def pluginManager = grails.util.Holders.pluginManager
def lesscssPlugin = pluginManager.getGrailsPlugin('lesscss-resources') || pluginManager.getGrailsPlugin('less-resources')

And give it a go.
