Hi everyone,

the new website looks good.
However a (minor?) issue: I checked today and have some display issues 
when viewing the site in Firefox. The symbols on the buttons e.g. for 
Download are not displayed correctly. See attached screenshot. All 
scripts for the site are allowed (via NoScript <https://noscript.net/>). 
But NoScript blocks some *content *(fonts) because it resides on a 
foreign server (bootstrapcdn.com).

I have no idea how to prevent this (maybe put the fonts on the KiCad 
server), but it makes the site look broken for people using the NoScript 
extension/requires additional "work" to allow not only the scripts but 
also the external content.

System: Windows 7 Home Premium
Firefox: 40.03

When viewing in Google Chrome or Internet Explorer 11 the fonts look OK. 
I think because I have no script-blocker when using them.
My main browser is Firefox, mainly because of NoScript ...

Best regards,
  André
