Use SVG for menu icons instead of rebuilding the custom font

Maintaining the custom font is cumbersome. Most browsers support SVG, which makes the process of adding/modifying vector icons - a breeze. After all font based icons are only useful if we are using them on multiple places on the same page and around the site.

Recent icons are embedded as SVG, if I use object or img tags, I lose the ability to change colors. I still feel that they are better off as a font, as it's much easier to work with. On the flipside, updating the font is cumbersome.
