Bootstrap css uses the halflings from Glyphicons. If I purchased their full product line, how would I incorporate that into the bootstrap framework?

What are Glyphicons? Glyphicons are icon fonts which you can use in your web projects. Glyphicons Halflings are not free and require licensing, however their creator has made them available for Bootstrap projects free of cost.
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.
In lines 15 and 17 the <span> and <a> element has the bootstrap glyphicon glyphicon-pencil classes, so to use any glyphicon in bootstrap: Use the <span> or <a> element. Set the class attribute of the <span> or <a> element as glyphicon then a space and then glyphicon-iconname.
Bootstrap 4 does not have its own icon library (Glyphicons from Bootstrap 3 are not supported in BS4). However, there are many free icon libraries to choose from, such as Font Awesome and Google Material Design Icons.
Use this CSS sprite generator, uploading the zip file. It will create the relevant CSS classes for you (names are taken from images itself), merging all images in one (transparent) PNG one.
