Hi

Any reason you opted to include image based icons in bootstrap which are limited to the 16px dimensions?

For example http://somerandomdude.com/work/iconic/ is available as open source fonts - means you can include icons in headers, buttons of various size etc since its vector based.

Could easily be implemented with the same approach as the current icons:

i.foobar:before { content: "X" }
