How do I use Bootstrap Glyphicons in 3.0.0?
I'm using Glyphicons in Bootstrap. I was calling in the CSS straight from http://glyphicons.getbootstrap.com/css/bootstrap-glyphicons.css but this has now disappeared and was not recommended.
This apparently coincides with Twitter making the Glyphicons available in the Bootstrap package again. I am using Bootstrap 3.0.0 RC1 or RC2.
My problem: I have no idea how to use the icons in my own hosting... Seems to me the code is contained within the bootstrap.css (?). I have uploaded the "fonts" directory but am only getting blank, empty-box icons where there should be proper icons.
Any ideas please? What should be where and how should it be called?

The bootstrap-glyphicons.css file seems to have been removed with the final\production Bootstrap 3.0.0. Simply download the zip from http://getbootstrap.com/ and then copy the dist/css/bootstrap.min.css file in your css folder. You should then include it in your HTML page as such:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Bootstrap 101 Glyphicons</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<!-- Bootstrap CSS file -->
<link href="css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">
</head>
<body>
<!-- Glyphicon in a H1 tag -->
<h1>Hello, <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-globe"></span> !</h1>
</body>
</html>
