I'm obviously confused, then, because<br>
<a href="http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/" target="_blank">http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/</a> says that it's "the iconic font<br>

The Glyphicons Halflings are icon images used in Twitter Bootstrap. I<br>
presume that the font is a separate resource, also bundled with Bootstrap?<br>
