Icon font generator

Easy-to-use, pre-configured cli tool to generate webfont icon kits from a bunch of .svg files

Intro

This cli utility is ment to make webfont icon sets creation from the command line really simple - It wraps and pre-configures webfonts-generator, but allows for some degree of customisation.

It also does a couple extra things such as creating a .json file containing the icons to unicode characters map, which may be later used in styles, templates, etc..
