IcoMoon is a free service that enables us to create custom icon sets and icon fonts using different sets.
The application includes most of the popular and free icon sets (that can be selected from its library), we can choose which ones to use and select any number of items from them.

Once the selection is over, it offers 2 types of downloads: image and font.
The image version comes as PNG with optional sprite image + the CSS rules and the font version in multiple formats (EOT, SVG, WOFF, TTF).
Also, besides the icons of other designers, IcoMoon has its own and free icon set which is pretty huge and slick.

There are very nice icon fonts out there, both free or paid, and they provide flexibility in several ways compared to using standard icons.
However, a major drawback is that icon fonts usually come as a single font file where we need to load the whole file to use few items.

You’ll remember Fontello that allows us to create custom icon fonts via a web interface. Font Custom, an open source tool, is a command line alternative for it.
Simply target the folder that has your SVG or EPS icons and it’ll generate the fonts.
Also, it’ll keep watching the folder in case you make any changes to the icons and will always keep the fonts up-to-date.
P.S. The rules in the CSS generated are named similar to Twitter Bootstrap which is nice for the fans of the framework.
Requirements: Ruby and RubyGems
