Bootstrap (from version 4 onwards) have dropped Glyphicon icons font in their latest release.

Font Awesome icons provide you with over 675 icons and they come in font format.

#### How To Use:
In the `<head>` of your html include a reference to Font Awesome.
```html
< link href = "https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel = "stylesheet" >
```

You can also use Font Awesome's own CDN.
```html
< link rel = "stylesheet" href = "https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.4.1/css/fontawesome.css" integrity = "sha384-BzCy2fixOYd0HObpx3GMefNqdbA7Qjcc91RgYeDjrHTIEXqiF00jKvgQG0+zY/7I" crossorigin = "anonymous" >
```

Additionally, the Font Awesome CDN can supply the brand and regular logos independently.

< link rel = "stylesheet" href = "https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.4.1/css/brands.css" integrity = "sha384-Px1uYmw7+bCkOsNAiAV5nxGKJ0Ixn5nChyW8lCK1Li1ic9nbO5pC/iXaq27X5ENt" crossorigin = "anonymous" >

Icons inherit the `font-size` of their parent container by default, but sizing can be modified by adding `.fa-*` classes, where `*` is one of `xs, sm, md, lg or [1-5]x` .
