Why use icon fonts?
Just so we're all on the same page, I'll summarize the pros/cons of using webfonts to display icons.

Pros
Fonts are vectors, so there is no pixelation or blurring on high-resolution screens as there would be if the graphic was raster and needed to scale up.
The browser support is as good as you need it to be
Once the system is in place, using them is very convenient.
Arguably easier than spriting images.
They can be controlled with CSS, like the size, color, shadow, etc.
Cons
The icons will be single-color. There are some fancy (hacky) techniques for multi-color however, and modern trends and HIGs (human interface guidelines) suggest single colors anyway.

Ethan Marcott, the one who coined the term Responsive Web Design, stated in his article that Fluid Image is one of the ingredients of Responsive Web Design. The problem with Fluid Image, however is that eventhough the image seems to be responsive and could fit nicely in various viewport size, the same image size is downloaded by the users regardless of the medium the image is being viewed on.

Responsive elements makes it possible for any element to adapt and respond to the area they occupy. It's a tiny javascript library that you can drop into your projects today.

If you’ve bought yourself a DSLR and, after unpacking it from the box, you are intimidated by the number of buttons and dials, and by the thickness of the manual, it can be very tempting to put the manual down, flick it onto ‘Auto’ and start shooting.  Whilst that is fine for some, it may not be long until you crave the creative control that inspired you to purchase a DSLR in the first place, but where do you begin?

Since Twitter Bootstrap 3 is a mobile-first framework, by default whatever you design or create will be mobile compatible or responsive. Isn’t that cool?
