Unfortunately, the icons look terrible on my Windows machine: http://i.imgur.com/WeTwez6.png (for example) Windows 7, Chrome 31.0.1650.34 beta-m.

Hmm, odd. Looking into it.

Many of these are already unicode characters. Do the fonts of these icon sets use the corresponding characters?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Don't many of these companies have specific terms on how their logos should be used on external sites to represent things like platform-specific apps? I'm not sure if custom-made fonts would be included in those terms, but I know these companies aren't dead set against there being no external usage.

"not dead set against .. no" is awfully hard to parse.

I don't think so. I can't really invert the "not dead set" part.

Is it just me or is the .ttf missing some of the icons? When I open the font in Font Book on my mac there are only a small fraction of the icons showing.

Hmm. We had some issues today so we are going through each icon and making sure everything is good and then going to rebuild the font files.

Oh look another page full of unicode placeholder symbols.

When did the web become a place that is hostile to people who want to choose the fonts they read things in?

I think that might have been 1990 or 1991 but I am not sure about the exact date.

It should be 'not dead set against any external usage.'

That's a Chrome bug - https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=137692 - been pending for over a year now
