Fontello is a great service for managing icon fonts for a project. For those who haven’t used it it allows one to cherry pick icons from a range of different font colletions into your own custom font. It also makes it really easy to just upload your own SVG icons and include it in your custom font.
Creating your own custom font with just the icons needed has several advantages. First of all it reduces the download size to just the needed glyphs (instead of downloading the whole Font Awesome for example).
