Extending to allow for font conversions #59

Good day!

I absolutely love your project and am busy implementing it in a custom thumbnail designer.

A feature request that I have would be to include the functionality to allow for generically converted fonts. This one feature will open up the tool for a number of additional use cases.

Allow me to elaborate:

I want to be able to take a font such as this: and convert it into a font that could be usable in the iconpicker. Interestingly, this font is from 1996 but is essentially an icon font by definition.

By using http://www.flaticon.com/font-face to convert the old font I am able to get a proper @font-face css out.

Would it not be possible to then include this (or any converted font) as a new font set?

I'm very new to web development but am willing to help where I can.
