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.
