how does $icon-font-path works in bootstrap scss?

Question

I recently started using bootstrap SCSS on my node project. So I have app/bower_components/bootstrap-sass/lib/_glyphicons.scss for example.

Looking at my CS

Answer 1

Here is the variables file where they set the $icon-font-path variable.

It looks like $icon-font-path is set to the foldername of the font files. not necessarily a security hole because its a relative path to the fonts.
