I was playing with a menu today that also had "fontawesome" icons in it.
it seems I can never find a bunch of icons on one set that I would like to use. is there a program I can use to copy the fonts I want onto one bunch so WYCSIWYG can use it?

In WB18, you can create your own collection of icons from the different icon fonts available. Think of it sort of like a collection of your favorites or most used icons.

I made a list of the ICOns and downloaded them; now, what do I do with them? I found nothing in the help files.

Please see "Adding custom icon fonts"
https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/iconfonts.html
This is also documented in the help.

Keep in mind you just can't download icons in .svg format and expect them to work. You have to convert them into an iconfont and then create a .json file to use in WB. Then you can place them into the icon library folder in WB to be used in WB itself.

What can I use to do that?

See the links Pablo suggested or take a look at icomoon.io app to generate font files. You will need to create the .json file on your own.

I will have to do some reading, including whatever a ".json file" is.
