What sells me on Pictonic? I'm not getting anything from the homepage about why I should choose this over the growing amount of free resources. Constantly adding new ones without charge is great, but there have been rumblings about allowing people to submit their own to FontAwesome and letting the community determine if it sticks.
For those of you interested in making your own like I've been doing recently (ignoring the accessibility issues for now), download Inkscape (free, cross-platform), save your vectors out as SVGs either in Illustrator or Inkscape, import into Inkscape and use their glyph font tool to map to your characters. Take that SVG over to freefontconverter.com and grab the TTF, then bring the TTF over to Font Squirrel to convert for web.
And for those of you keeping score of the nice resources already out there (outside of FontAwesome) -
