Embedding a hybrid application for mobile devices, png vs. inlined-base64 vs. font-face?

I am looking for some feedback on this issue, I am using Sencha Touch 2.0 to create hybrid applications packaged via PhoneGap / Cordova.

I would like to use a font to insert characters (and get rid of permission problems automatically). I just like the desktop http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/ , and I wonder if it can fit in mobile applications.

However, I am also trying to get the best possible performance.

The idea is to use abstract characters in huge lists (> 500 items). And I absolutely do not understand how the abstract methods were compared (png vs. inlined-base64 vs. font).

Sencha seems to be using inlined-base64 on top of static pngs.

Fontawesome

I am working on a project where we used FontAwesome and everything worked fine on iOS. But we had a big problem, it did not work on Android, and we did not understand how to solve this problem. Therefore, if you do not think that you are creating your application for Android phones, or if this works fine for you, I would suggest going for it. With webfont, as you said, you do not need to care about screen resolutions, you can easily change the colors and sizes of the icons, which I found quite convenient.
