They will scale well with high ppi screens.

To be honest, the same can be said for svg images without the need to load a css file (4KB minified) plus a font file (55-230KB).

Specially taking into account that most places will use only a few of these icons.

I was only explaining the advantage over png. Great point about the use-case though. The average site is probably not going to offer 95 payment options/operators; a specialized svg library might be more appropriate.

An icon font generator/subsetting tool can produce a font file that includes only the icons that are needed.
