feature request: more Glyphicons, like in v2 #10685

Closed ghost closed 11 years ago

the Glyphicons we could used w Bootstrap 2 were images OK... new set is better using fonts , but it has less icons ... how can we expand it ?

see : http://marcoceppi.github.io/bootstrap-glyphicons/

Icon fonts have several advantages over images, I don't think we'd go back to using image sprites at this point. We don't currently have any plans for our own icon font or for switching to a different icon font, at least until Bootstrap v4. The author of Glyphicons is already being pretty nice in letting use the Halflings font for free; I don't think it's reasonable to try and get more freebies from him.

If the current icon selection isn't enough for you, I'd suggest switching to another icon font (e.g. Font Awesome), which is now pretty easy to do.

/cc @mdo, in case I've misrepresented anything or you have further thoughts on this

You right... icon fonts are better and it's good to stick to it, and Glyphicons's author is nice in letting us to use part of the library... however we should have a way to get the rest of the library not for free , I fully agree in paying him if we want the full stack.. maybe a discounted price if done from Bootstrap, as you're promoting his library... Iam ready to pay for that ...

Ah. I suppose arguably we could/should include, as an extension, .glyphicon-* classes for the full suite of Glyphicons, for folks who've opted to buy Glyphicons Pro.

Sounds like add-on material :).
