Description
Perhaps we should use http://pfefferle.github.com/openwebicons/ for any icons in MediaGoblin, how does that sound?

I'm going to mark this as WONTFIX I think?
It might actually be true that some of these icons are useful to use. However, I'm having trouble with this "font" for two reasons:
- Unclear what the license is? In fact, looks like no license, which makes it a no-go.
- I'm not enthusiastic about dingbats/wingdings style fonts where you have characters that might be "b" and suddenly shows a "bomb" or other symbolic representations. It's really bad for accessibility because there's no alt-tag equivalent.

Using web fonts will make it easier for themers to change the color of things such as icons, etc.
Currently you might in some cases have to create a copy of a certain template to change an image icon on a page. With OpenWebFonts you could easily change at least the color.
