If you only need a low number of icons in a single size, then yes, bitmap icons are probably the way forward, but if you need lots of icons and you need them to be scaleable, then this is a great way to achieve it.

I wish someone would create a tool that lets you pick only the icons you want and compile a new minimal font with just what you need in it (in all the formats necessary for safe cross browser embedding).



Pictos http://pictos.cc/server/ lets you build an icon font using only the icons you need also


I believe font squirrel http://www.fontsquirrel.com/ can do subsetting for you and then output all formats.
