This a nice update for Font Awesome, but I am still a big advocate for using IcoMoon [1] to generate your own icon font.
I think it's the best way to generate a font with only the icons you actually need. It's a much more lean way to handle icons, rather than just getting an icon font with a huge library that you won't even use 70% of. And don't get me wrong, Font Awesome has great icons, but I would just use those inside IcoMoon to generate a font that has only the icons you need.

- fortawesome 13y agoI made Font Awesome, and I concur! If you really care about load times and performance, definitely subset your icon fonts!
- buren 13y agoThanks for an awesome libary
- pdog 13y agoYou can subset Font Awesome. Check out icnfnt, for example: http://www.icnfnt.com/ http://www.icnfnt.com/ It's currently at version 3.0.2, but I'm sure they'll update it to 3.2 soon.
- tagliala 13y agounfortunately icnfnt at the moment has some major issues, including lost of pixel perfection when subsetting https://github.com/johnsmclay/icnfnt/issues/5#issuecomment-13341871 https://github.com/johnsmclay/icnfnt/issues/5#issuecomment-1... it seems that the author will address these issues soon (issue #19). i wanna thank him too for his efforts
- mindctrl-org 13y agoNice. I often use Fontello [1] to snag only the fonts I need for a particular project. They have several libraries there, and you can select what you need from any/all and download the compiled CSS and font files. [1] http://fontello.com/ http://fontello.com/
