Font Awesome styles do not appear in Footer Text Widget

I’ve installed Font Awesome on my site so that I can use inline styling with the various fa styles, such as <i class="fa-li fa fa-facebook-square fa-lg" style="color:#4c66a4;"> and other inline uses of the FA icons. I’ve done this on another WordPress installation (not using Enfold) and it works fine.

I’m having trouble with a Text widget in the Footer. Specifically, I placed a <ul> in Footer Column 2, but the icons don’t appear. The text appears fine, and the links function, but all the icons are stripped out. Here’s a screenshot showing that the styling works in a normal page content, but not in the footer:

Is there something specific to add/modify to allow advanced styling in the footer? Should I hard-code this list in place of the widget area?

Also, I’m using a child theme so please keep that in mind. If I need to create a new version of a style sheet within the child folder, please let me know specifically.

Thanks for your help,
