For me  the problem was twofold  First  the version of IIS I was dealing with didn t know about the  woff2 MIME type  only about  woff  I fixed that using IIS Manager at the server level  not at the web app level  so the setting wouldn t get overridden with each new app deployment   Under IIS Manager  I went to MIME types  and added the missing  woff2  then updated  woff    Second  and more importantly  I was bundling bootstrap css along with some other files as    bundles css site   Meanwhile  my font files were in    fonts   bootstrap css looks for the glyphicon fonts in     fonts   which translated to    bundles fonts  -- wrong path   In other words  my bundle path was one directory too deep  I renamed it to    bundles siteCss   and updated all the references to it that I found in my project  Now bootstrap looked in    fonts  for the glyphicon files  which worked  Problem solved   Before I fixed the second problem above  none of the glyphicon font files were loading  The symptom was that all instances of glyphicon glyphs in the project just showed an empty box  However  this symptom only occurred in the deployed versions of the web app  not on my dev machine  I m still not sure why that was the case

This problem happens because IIS does not find the actual location of woff2 file mime types  Set URL  of font-face properly  also keep font-family as glyphicons-halflings-regular in your CSS file as shown below     font-face   font-family   glyphicons-halflings-regular    src  url           fonts glyphicons-halflings-regular woff2   format  woff2

I tried all the suggestions above  but my actual issue was that my application was looking for the  font folder and its contents   woff etc  in app fonts  but my  fonts folder was on the same level as  app  I moved  fonts under  app  and it works fine now  I hope this helps someone else roaming the web for an answer
