Add woff2 format for glyphicons closes #13869

See screenshot of rendering of the woff2 format in chrome canary #13869

Just wondering, isn't a little too soon for this?

[thomaswelton]

@XhmikosR there is no browser that currently supports this apart from Chrome canary. But the next major release of Chrome will support this.
The change is additive and means that the next time Chrome autoupdates you'll be getting an optimised experience.

There are no other fonts that I have found that are being supplied as woff2, but think bootstrap should lead the way.

I'm a Firefox user myself, so you know. I was just saying that all this may be premature, idk.

I'll let the others chime in.

Ah, commented on the issue just now. We can probably wait.

Yeah, punting since I don't want to get into a special case with Glyphicons right now where our support is different from their own. Just leads to confusion for users of both projects.

Thanks for doing this though—I imagine Jan can put it to use if he likes when the time comes.
