Is this better than http://icomoon.io/app ? I can create my own font file with icomoon so it only contains the icons that I needed for my site. Only issue I have is that there is no way to save the created font file so that I can modify later.

Some people apparently think "open source" means "anyone can commit whatever they like to the main repository", which is odd.
- Can't do pull requests on the graphics. - Can't download the svgs. The only thing that is open source is the implementation.

Can't download the SVGs?

#83They renamed the icons. They don't just break apps when they do that, they break users. At some point things like the names of icons should be frozen. I love Font Awesome of course. But please!
My favorite rename is push-pin -> thumb-tack :-)

#84Anyone else having trouble with using the new 4.0 fonts from the Bootstrap CDN? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19549881/cdn-for-font-awe...
Url should be /fonts, not /font.
In variables.less, change @fa-font-path to: "//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.0.0/fonts"

#85What I see on that page: one hell of a lot of unicode placeholders and not much else. We don't all agree with a site's font choices. And at least img made an attempt at semantic meaning and accessibility with alt= attributes. The failure modes for img are actually quite good. There's no such concern in the minds of those who gave birth to icon fonts.

Ligature symbols actually addresses this. there just aren't enough of them for my needs. http://kudakurage.com/ligature_symbols/

I'm sure that really improves performance.

#88In the what's new it says everything has been rewritten. Does this mean the icon vector files themselves or just the CSS?

#90Oh for heaven's sake, why is icon-* being deprecated? I stopped using Glyphicons because they switched to glyphion-* .
It'll take a little bit of work to update, but I definitely think it's better for compatibility-sake.
