We've started using fontello recently. We use some custom svg assets in addition to the icon font sets. I wrote a ~100 line python script that manages interactions with fontello. It'll open a browser with our config file, let you make changes, then download and store the updated fontello assets mostly from the command line. I highly recommend doing something like this if you get on board the fontello train.

What does that buy you that using something like gulp-iconfont https://github.com/nfroidure/gulp-iconfont doesn't?
That project doesn't seem to integrate with Fontello at all.
Right, the point would be to not require a bunch of scripts to tie into an online service to generate a font. Instead you just do it all locally at build time.
