There are various free icon fonts out there and, with the increasing use, new ones are being created each day.

MFG Labs Icons is one of them, it is a slick, free and pretty complete icon font.

It is a web app-themed set considering most of them are actions (and there are social items as well).

The download package includes all the popular web-font formats and the styles for them.

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.

Here is a fresh and very useful icon font which can easily fit to any websites and apps: Ligature Symbols.

This free icon font consists of 200+ letters with items like actions, smileys and more. Also, a huge number of social icons are included.

The download pack has all the versions (SVG, EOT, TTF, WOFF) needed for cross-browser support and the styles needed to use it.

Just like "there is never too much icons", there is also never too much icon fonts and here is a new one.

It comes in multiple formats: .ttf .eot .svg + .woff and can be consumed with @font-face CSS property.
