Question

Bootstrap css uses the halflings from Glyphicons.
If I purchased their full product line, how would I incorporate that into the bootstrap framework?

Answer 1

You would have to recalculate the background positioning of every glyph icon into your own class or overwrite the classes already set by the bootstrap in order to work them in. Twitter’s bootstrap uses the halfling (free) version of the icons which are 14px all around, the full set is double the size so the old background-position's won’t work.

Here is an example of what one of the bootstraps icon classes looks like:

/* class for the icon "fast-backward", notice the positioning values set in pixels */
.icon-fast-backward {
    background-position: -216px -72px;
}

/* main class, defining what icon sheet to use */
[class^="icon-"], [class*=" icon-"] {
    background-image: url("../img/glyphicons-halflings.png");
    background-position: 14px 14px;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    display: inline-block;
    height: 14px;
    line-height: 14px;
    vertical-align: text-top;
    width: 14px;
}
