Why aren't the Bootstrap 3.0.1.1 glyphicons displaying in IE8

I download the latest version of Bootstrap, version 3.0.1.1 using Nuget and I am using it in a Visual Studio 2012 ASP.NET MVC 4 application.

After the download it only put the following files in the Content directory:

And in my Scripts directory the following:

I've also included the Respond.js and html5shiv.js files.

When I run the application in IE8 it doesn't seem to find the glyphicons that I put on my views. There are just squares that seem like placeholders where the glyphicons should be. When I run the application in the latest version of Firefox then it is there. I don't understand why?

Can anyone please share some light?

i think hanselman wrote a post about this last week... http://www.hanselman.com/blog/WhyDoMyFontAwesomeIconsShowUpAsBlankSquares.aspx

Then you realize that you need to have class="fa" as well as whatever the icon's class is.
