Title: Icomoon

This corrects the icon font file delivery order, so that modern browsers all get a 16-18Kb font file instead of a 69Kb file (for no reason).

Keymoon is the only person I have *ever* seen advocate the use of .svg over .ttf or .woff, and he has even recently changed his stance: http://icomoon.io/#post/318. Point of fact, *every* other web font provider, *ever*, has always placed .svg last in the stack for very good reason; it's enormous and only required by older, less-capable browsers.

This update means users get the same icon font, but faster and using less bandwidth.
