Font Awesome, the pictographic font designed for use with Twitter Bootstrap

I love font icons and these are great. Thanks for sharing.

Two notes:

1) When I first started using font icons, I encountered an issue that might be worth sharing - you need to make sure your web server properly handles the more esoteric file types that are included in the @font-face declaration.

2) Paperclip icon!!!! I'm sad when these icon sets are missing this very useful metaphor for "attachment": not "my dog just died" sad, more like "I wish I could fly" sad. I am just throwing that out there.

1) Good catch. I'll look into what's going on there. 2) I like the idea for a paperclip icon. I'll look into adding that into the next version.

Watch the repo or follow @FontAweso_me on Twitter to stay apprised of updates.

As an app developer I miss the more real-life oriented icons that appears in Glyphish and Glyphicons. For example a train, meal, beer etc.

Tried to follow, but guess that handle should be @fortaweso_me, correct?

Hah! Yes it should be. Bad that I'm confusing myself.
