Using @font-face with Rails 3.1 app?

Question

I\'m having trouble using the following @font-face declaration to work with my Rails 3.1 app. I put the fonts in the Asset Pipeline in its own folder called \"

I know this is an old question, but I just stumbled across this issue with rails 3.2, and after reading the link to the documentation posted previously, there was no need to edit the application.rb. All I needed to do was do the following in my stylesheet (using sass)

@font-face {
    font: {
       family: 'Junction';
       weight: 'normal';
       style: 'normal';
    }
    src: asset-url('Junction-webfont.eot', font);
    src: asset-url('Junction-webfont.eot', font) format('embedded-opentype'),
         asset-url('Junction-webfont.woff', font) format('woff'),
         asset-url('Junction-webfont.ttf', font) format('truetype'),
         asset-url('Junction-webfont.svg#JunctionRegular', font) format('svg')
}

So instead of using url, I used the generic asset-url, which takes 2 arguments, the file and the asset class, in this case 'font'.
