Process the SVG Icons for common FOSS webfont libraries for use with the QGIS Resource Sharing Plugin
Install the QGIS resource sharing plugin and add the URL https://github.com/zacharlie/fonts4gis.git as a repository. Once a collection is installed, you should have access to the various font libraries to use as SVG Symbols.
SVGs are added into a directory structure as required by the QGIS Resource Sharing Plugin and processed in order to insert additional parameters which allow QGIS to properly utilise the SVG (assigning fill/ stroke etc).

Note that this does not include the Font Awesome library, which was provided it's own repository at https://github.com/zacharlie/fa4gis
This project was created to allow users familiar with other popular open source font libraries the ability to use those symbols.
A subset of Font Awesome symbols were cherry picked and isolated for cartographic purposes and readied for inclusion in QGIS Core as per mailing list discussions, which is also available as a separate repository:
