I'm diggin' the Glyphicons in Bootstrap 3, but it looks like they're not all there! I'd really like to use the building icon, but Googling hasn't turned up much of anything.
Does anyone know how to add the missing Glyphicons to Bootstrap 3?

Bootstrap 3 Glyphicons are actually fonts, so you can scale them and color them as you please. Bootstrap previously used image sprites for icons. To add a glyphicon, add a <span> tag with Bootstrap's . glyphicon class and also the class for the specific glyphicon that you require.
Glyphicons. Bootstrap includes 260 glyphs from the Glyphicon Halflings set. Glyphicons Halflings are normally not available for free, but their creator has made them available for Bootstrap free of cost. As a thank you, you should include a link back to Glyphicons whenever possible.
You can build your own custom font using the free service: http://fontello.com/
Simply drag your glyphicons-halflings-regular.svg file in, choose the icons you want to use and download a custom font containing only that which you need.
Fontello comes preloaded with the following libraries:
You can also buy the full version of Glyphicons for $59 at http://glyphicons.com/

I wanted to use the Glyphicons Pro I'd bought but expanding the current halflings stuff inside bootstrap was messy. So I created a separate css file for each icon set (full, filetypes & social) and copied the way bootstrap initialises them so I could use similar syntax. i.e.
<span class="glyphpro glyphpro-download"></span>
<span class="glyphfiles glyphfiles-xml"></span>
<span class="glyphsocial glyphsocial-github"></span>
This way you can load only the ones you want and when you want and you can use the vanilla bootstrap config. Find my files here: Gist@GitHub
