[TYPO3-core] Status icons in 7.0

[Lorenz Ulrich]

Hi everyone

Regarding the use of Font Awesome, I would encourage you to use a 
service like Fontello. Fontello [1] lets you create an icon font based 
on "all" available free icon fonts. In addition, you can upload SVG 
files that can be integrated to the font. The font can then be 
downloaded in all necessary variants and used.

All information and the custom SVG icons are stored in a JSON file which 
can be uploaded to Fontello again if new icons are required.

Using such a service doesn't restrict you from using icons that fit only 
partially just because they aren't part of Font Awesome.

Just my two cents :-).

Best regards,

Lorenz
