Icon fonts do have their pitfalls and there are certain things you should consider before using them. To ensure that your icons always load and have reliable fallbacks for browsers that don’t support @fontface, you should take a look at the guidelines set-out by the Filament Group, Bulletproof Accessible Icon Fonts.

As a counter-argument, Pictonic say that icon fonts are 10% faster than SVG.
