How can you use a font without downloading? If you were able to use online you would be taking forever to copy and paste each letter and then it would come as a picture. No downloading is the only way. It only takes a few seconds per font and then you just extract and put in the windows fonts folder. Fonts are not only used in MS-Word for typing purpose only, but they are also used in Logo Designing, Graphic designing, Web Designing, etc. And at many other places that require use of some beautiful and handy fonts. Without any doubts, it is a fact that font give a unique, stunning and powerful appearance to you work and they could stimulate the way it is interpreted. I want to use Fontaweseome without downloading it at all. (i.e.: directly to the github URL) If you're going to use any third-party code in this way, you should make sure you have permission from the owner of the site you're downloading it from. Some sites will block external links like this to because of the bandwidth costs it would incur.

For some simple html pages I want to use Fontaweseome without downloading it at all.
I was thinking to have my CSS to point to the /fontFace like this:
(i.e.: directly to the github URL)
which I did .. but it does not seem to work.

Font Awesome is included in Bootstrap's CDN. You just need to add the below link in your head section

and that's it, you can enjoy your icons. You shouldn't need to use font-face or call it in the styles anywhere, just add the appropriate classes to your 'i' tags in the usual way like:

If you're going to use any third-party code in this way, you should make sure you have permission from the owner of the site you're downloading it from. Some sites will block external links like this to because of the bandwidth costs it would incur. I believe GitHub is one of those sites -- if they allowed this, it would cost them a huge amount of money to serve all the javascript and other code.
However, there are sites around that do provide this service. They are known as CDNs. For example, Google's CDN is a well known one, which a lot of people use for libraries such as jQuery.
I don't think Google's CDN serves FontAwesome at this time, but that's the direction you need to be looking; there may well be a CDN that does provide FontAwesome. I don't know of one off the top of my head, but a quick search might give you some leads.
Failing that, I don't really see a problem with downloading the files yourself. Even if it's a small site, it's probably less effort than asking the question here.

Firstly, your font-face declaration is incorrect, it should be:
Then to call it in your CSS, you will need to add something like:
