Please do not hardcode your font directory since the location is dynamic.

Just like there are built-in helpers for images there is are also built-in helpers for fonts: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/AssetUrlHelper.html#method-i-font_url

Example:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'QuicksandOTF';
    src: font_url('Quicksand-Regular.otf') format('opentype');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
}
