Great! A question, is there any way to generate a custom version Font Awesome where we select icons that we want to use?

As new versions appear, there are many unused icons which adds unnecessary size increase.

Definitely. The guys over at http://www.icnfnt.com/ are a couple of versions back, but the IcoMoon app works pretty darn well: http://icomoon.io/app/

Anyone else have any other favorite options?

FontPrep has built in subset options, which work really well for subsetting FontAwesome.

I'll give away a few free licenses for anyone curious, just hit me up on Twitter. @brianmgonzalez

Thanks for your answer and the project itself! I also know http://fontello.com/ however it seems like these projects are all lagging by a few versions back.
I think that with the new version, you may be able to just modify the icons.yaml file, and re-build.

See https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/blob/master/src/...

Sadly, the icon font files themselves aren't yet driven off that. Just the docs, CSS, LESS, and SCSS!
Check out http://icomoon.io/ for this. It's a great app!
