In my case I was getting a 404 for glyphicons-halflings-regular woff  and non visible glyphicons on mobile browsers   Looks like there is some confusion about the MIME type for woff  more than one MIME type being accepted by different browsers  but the W3C says   application font-woff   Edit  After testing the following MIME type for woff works on all browsers currently   application x-font-woff   Edit  Latest version of Bootstrap at this time  3 3 5  uses  woff2 fonts with the same initial result as  woff  the W3C still defining the spec but at the moment the MIME type seems to be   application font-woff2

In case someone else ended up here and using Bootstrap    v4 0  glyphicon support is dropped  The relevant part from the release notes      Dropped the Glyphicons icon font  If you need icons  some options are       the upstream version of Glyphicons      Octicons      Font Awesome   Source  https   v4-alpha getbootstrap com migration  components  If you want to use glyphicons you need to download it separately   I personally tried Font Awesome and it is quite good  Adding icons is similar to glypicon way    lt i class  fas fa-chess  gt  lt  i gt

I work with VS2015  ASP NET MVC 6  RC  and also had problems  error messages to the reference  icons not showed  with the gliphicons in production  where it has worked in VS  development    The reason seems to be  that the MS cdn page is down  at least right now and from Switzerland    http   www websitedown info ajax aspnetcdn com  Therefore  as temporary workaround   I have changed the external reference in  Layout cshtml  under environment names  Staging Production   to  internal  reference  from    lt link rel  stylesheet  href  https   ajax aspnetcdn com ajax bootstrap 3 3 5 css bootstrap min css    to    lt link rel  stylesheet  href    lib bootstrap dist css bootstrap min css    After doing that  it works again

This is very much a long shoot  but it was my case and since it is not here already   If you are compiling Twitter Bootstrap from SASS using gulp-sass or grunt-sass ie  node-sass  Make sure your node modules are up to date  especially if your are working on a rather old project    It turns out that as of some time back the SASS directive  at-root is used in the definition of the  font-face in glyphicons  see https   github com twbs bootstrap-sass blob b01ab4942233bd7316a0634472e1243b13fb9f46 assets stylesheets bootstrap  glyphicons scss   The gotcha here is that node-sass ie  libsass do not support the  at-root directive if it is too old  If this is the case you will get a  font-face wrapped in a  at-root which the browser have no idea what to do with  The result of this is that no font will be downloaded and you will likely see garbage instead of icons

I was having the same issue and couldn t find any information about it except in the hidden comments on this page   My font files were loading just fine according to Chrome  but the icons weren t displaying properly   I m making this an answer so it will hopefully help others   Something was wrong with the font files that I downloaded from Bootstrap 3 s customizer tool   To get the correct fonts  go to the Bootstrap homepage and download the full  zip file   Extract the four font files from there to your fonts directory and everything should work

If you re using a CDN for the bootstrap CSS files it may be the culprit  as the glyph files  e g  glyphicons-halflings-regular woff  are taken from the CDN as well    In my case  I faced this issue using Microsoft s CDN  but switching to MaxCDN resolved it

Here is what official documentation says regarding fonts not rendering    Changing the icon font location Bootstrap assumes icon font files will be located in the    fonts  directory  relative to the compiled CSS files  Moving or renaming those font files means updating the CSS in one of three ways   Change the  icon-font-path and or  icon-font-name variables in the source Less files  Utilize the relative URLs option provided by the Less compiler  Change the url   paths in the compiled CSS  Use whatever option best suits your specific development setup    Other than that it could be that you missed to copy the fonts folder to the root directory

-If you followed the highest rated answer and it s still not working    The Font folder MUST be on the same level as your CSS folder   Fixing the path in bootstrap css will not work     Bootstrap css has to navigate to the Fonts folder exactly like this     font-face       font-family   Glyphicons Halflings        src  url     fonts glyphicons-halflings-regular eot        src  url     fonts glyphicons-halflings-regular eot  iefix   format  embedded-opentype    url     fonts glyphicons-halflings-regular woff   format  woff    url     fonts glyphicons-halflings-regular ttf   format  truetype    url     fonts glyphicons-halflings-regular svg glyphicons halflingsregular   format  svg

If the other solutions aren t working  you may want to try importing Glyphicons from an external source  rather than relying on Bootstrap to do everything for you  To do this   You can either do this in HTML    lt link href    netdna bootstrapcdn com bootstrap 3 0 0 css bootstrap-glyphicons css  rel  stylesheet  gt    Or CSS    import url    netdna bootstrapcdn com bootstrap 3 0 0 css bootstrap-glyphicons css     Credit to edsiofi from this thread  Bootstrap 3 Glyphicons CDN

I was looking through this old question of mine and since what was supposed to be the correct answer up until now  was given by me in the comments  I think I also deserve the credit for it   The problem lied in the fact that the glyphicon font files downloaded from bootstrap s customizer tool were not the same with the ones that are downloaded from the redirection found at bootstrap s homepage  The ones that are working as they should are the ones that can be downloaded from the following link   http   getbootstrap com getting-started  download   Anyone having problems with old bad customizer files should overwrite the fonts from the link above

I was having the same problem where the browser was unable to find the font files  and my issue was due to exclusions in my  htaccess file that was whitelisting files that shouldn t be sent to index php for processing  As the font file couldn t be loaded the characters were replaced with BLOB   RewriteCond   REQUEST URI      jpg png gif svg css js ico rss xml json   RewriteCond   REQUEST URI   -d RewriteRule   index php  L QSA    As you can see  files like images  rss  and xml are excluded from the rewrite  but the font files are  woff and  woff2 files  so these also needed adding to the whitelist   RewriteCond   REQUEST URI      jpg png gif svg css js ico rss xml json woff woff2   RewriteCond   REQUEST URI   -d RewriteRule   index php  L QSA    Adding woff and woff2 to the whitelist allows the font files to be loaded  and the glyphicons should then display properly

If you use Visual Studio  2015  in my case  to create an ASP NET Webforms Web Application   with Bootstrap theming  by default the glyphicons are stored in the  fonts folder off the project root   If you start rearranging your bootstrap files under  Content into subfolders  to support multiple themes  for example   all the references within bootstrap to    fonts  will break   You can either move the fonts folder to the appropriate relative path under  Content  or else rename all the references from    fonts to  fonts

Note  below is likely a niche scenario  but I wanted to share it in case someone else might find it useful     In a rails project  we are reusing quite a bit through a gem that is a Rails engine using bootstrap-sass   All was well in the main project with the exception of the glyphicon font path resolution    GET http   0 0 0 0 3000 fonts bootstrap glyphicons-halflings-regular woff 404  Not Found     We found that  bootstrap-sass-asset-helper was false during the resolution when we expected it to be true  so the path was different   We caused the  bootstrap-sass-asset-helper to be initialized in the engine gem by doing      explicit sprockets import to get glyphicon font paths correct  import  bootstrap-sprockets    import  bootstrap variables     e g  this caused the path to resolve to    assets bootstrap glyphicons-halflings-regular woff   Again  this shouldn t be necessary in any normal rails project using bootstrap-sass  we just happen to be reusing a lot of views and this worked out for us   Hopefully this can assist someone else

This is due to wrong coding in bootstrap css and bootstrap min css  When you download Bootstrap 3 0 from the Customizer the following code is missing    font-face     font-family   Glyphicons Halflings     src  url     fonts glyphicons-halflings-regular eot      src  url     fonts glyphicons-halflings-regular eot  iefix   format  embedded-opentype    url     fonts glyphicons-halflings-regular woff   format  woff    url     fonts glyphicons-halflings-regular ttf   format  truetype    url     fonts glyphicons-halflings-regular svg glyphicons-halflingsregular   format  svg        Since this is the main code for using Glyphicons  it won t work ofc     Download the css-files from the full package and this code will be implemented
