Possibly some documentation can solve this. I suspect I need to install python first?

Build errors doesn't mean install error. There's a JavaScript fallback when the build fails (and it is most of the time the case for Windows users).

You can still use gulp-iconfont either by not using the woff2 format or by using it with the Emscripten fallback.

Or, you can make it build on Windows, i'll accept any PR allowing it and explaining the needed setup to do so.

Ok. Either way I suggest writing about this in your README unless you want this issue to repeat itself in the future as most users might expect it to install/build on windows as well ;)
