Pictos is the icon font that really popularized this whole idea. In additional to the sets, they also offer
Pictos Server, a service which allows you to build your own font set from its library of icons and will host/serve it to you. This allows for very small (quick loading) font files and a nice UI for updating your current sets.
Symbolset is unique in that they turn words into icons for you. Write the word "heart", get a ❤. This works via OpenType, a typography feature of modern browsers.

The icons as graphics only are priced differently, but the fonts are broken up into 8 sets. Seems like kind of a pain in the ass to buy just the right sets you need since they are just chopped up to be even numbers. If you love the set, you're probably better off buying one of the bundle packs.
Snagging it from DaFont then running it through
Font Squirrel is your best bet.
