Extra space appears when using :before selector

I'm not a CSS specialist. I have a DRUPAL site, using a theme based on bootstrap. I use the bootstrap alert boxes in order to display important messages on the homepage. It works well, except that I get extra space when adding some content in a :before selector. I created a fiddle

Is there a simple way to solve this extra space? I solved the issue by setting line-height to 0 to the ancestor of the alert, but then when reducing the page, text doesn't go to new line and gets imbricated with itself. Thanks for help.

Here is the code:

#top-content .block .views-row::before {
  -moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
  -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
  color: #f37021;
  content: "\e101";
  display: inline-block;
  font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings';
  font-size: 2em;
  font-style: normal;
  font-weight: 400;
  left: 0.35em;
  /*line-height: 1;*/
  position: relative;
  top: 0.3em;
}
/*#top-content .block .views-row {
	padding-bottom:1.2em;
}*/

#top-content .block .views-row .views-field {
  margin-left: 3em;
}
#top-content .block a {
  color: #f37021;
}

Here it is positioned to the left of your content. It looks like you were targeting the wrong div with your before. I also added a left to give it a bit of space. see the result below

Changed the target div from:

#top-content .block .views-row::before

to:

.views-field-title .field-content:before

Updated the left to:

left: -10px;

The results are below:

.views-field-title .field-content:before {
    -moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
    -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
    color: #f37021;
    content: "\e101";
    display: inline-block;
    font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings';
    font-size: 2em;
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: 400;
    /*line-height: 1;*/
    position: relative;
    top: 0.3em;
left:-10px;
}
/*#top-content .block .views-row {
	padding-bottom:1.2em;
}*/
#top-content .block .views-row .views-field{
	margin-left: 3em;
}
#top-content .block a {
    color: #f37021;
}

Add float:left and remove top:0.3em

#top-content .block .views-row::before {
    -moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
    -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
    color: #f37021;
    content: "\e101";
    display: inline-block;
    font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings';
    font-size: 2em;
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: 400;
    left: 0.35em;
    line-height: 1; //uncommented this
    float:left; //added this
    position: relative;
    /*top:0.3em*/ //removed this

}
