Bigger Glyphicons

Question

How do I make bigger Glyphicons in twitter bootstrap 3.0 (not 2.3.x).

This code will make my glyphicons big:

Answer 1

The .btn-lg class has the following CSS in Bootstrap 3 (link):

.btn-lg {
  padding: 10px 16px;
  font-size: 18px;
  line-height: 1.33;
  border-radius: 6px;
}

If you apply the same font-size and line-height to your span (either .glyphicon-link or a newly created .glyphicons-lg if you're going to use this effect in more than one instance), you'll get a Glyphicon the same size as the large button.
