Interesting, but it seems to show up as a Unicode missing character of E000 rather than whatever it intended to show up as.

Sorry about that, had some CORS problems with the fonts... should be fixed :)

Thats a very good point, using a font had the advantage of malleability when building them (colors, size etc) ... but now that they're finalized, I should shift them over to images.

Awesome work.

Would this be against the new TOS for Twitter where you aren't supposed to modify the bird?
