In that one rare occasion where I had to convert a FA icon to a png file, I wrote a basic HTML page with the icon, screen captured it, and resized.

This seems better.

That's potentially a really poor way of doing it; if your browser/OS does subpixel rendering the resulting PNG could look terrible on other machines.

Not to mention lack of alpha transparency.
