You have not answered in what is so complicated. Fontawesome module has proven to solve the issue properly.

1. Mvc Pro Glyphicons
2. Bootstrap Glyphicons Problem

Mvc Pro Glyphicons

Glyphicons Vector Line Icons Cleaning Theme Responsive Bootstrap Web Buttons PSD Cuora App Landing Page Convoy One Page HTML Template Carlo Agency Po.

It works in seven and bootstrap at the same time. It is not broken like the bootstrap theme that does not show the icons in seven. Codewise this is the proper way how to integrate the icons with icon module into drupal. Glyphicons Need to be added to libraries folder and loaded from there like every other external library, too.

If you have arguments why this is wrong, write them down, but 'no' is no propper answer. or to post comments. I'm not highjacking the case. Just noting the proper way to integrate the (PRO) icons. We see what bugs it ends with if fonts are hard-wired into the framework. If i use fontawesome only - the Glyphicons should be removed from the framework to safe css size, too.

Bootstrap Glyphicons Problem

The maintainers of bootstrap theme can remove the icons from bootstrap 3 core later and move the Glyphicons into an extra css file. Drupal core will manage the combining of the css files. If Glyphicons are not removed from bootstrap 3 core, just ignore an additional Glyphicons file as css classes are overriding each other. It will simply work. Not optimal for the sum of css file size, but everything will simply work if bootstrap 3 core cannot changed. I agree this overriding is not a perfect/optimal solution. But this is a working solution for a limiting framework core and better than doing nothing.

or to post comments. I'm not highjacking the case.

You're referring to a completely separate issue/problem. This issue is, mostly, about how to supplement so that it returns a custom list of available icons (e.g. PRO Glyphicons, instead of the bundled ones). That being said this issue is really just a dup of this related issue. The maintainers of bootstrap theme can remove the icons from bootstrap 3 That is never going to happen. Not optimal for the sum of css file size, but everything will simply work if bootstrap 3 core cannot changed. I agree this overriding is not a perfect/optimal solution.

Which is why the issue you referenced was marked 'Closed (works as designed)'. I don't commit non-optimal/hack-ish code. or to post comments.
