Using fonts with Rails asset pipeline

Question

I have some fonts being configured in my Scss file like so:

@font-face {
  font-family: \'Icomoon\';
  src: asset-url(\'icoMoon.eot?#iefix\', font) format(\'         


        

Answer 1

I'm using Rails 4.2, and could not get the footable icons to show up. Little boxes were showing, instead of the (+) on collapsed rows and the little sorting arrows I expected. After studying the information here, I made one simple change to my code: remove the font directory in css. That is, change all the css entries like this:

src:url('fonts/footable.eot');

to look like this:

src:url('footable.eot');

It worked. I think Rails 4.2 already assumes the font directory, so specifying it again in the css code makes the font files not get found. Hope this helps.
