Bootstrap fonts working with rails 4, asset pipeline
09/04/2015
Ruby on Rails 4
Problems: Cannot load the fonts of bootstrap
Reason: In Rails, all assets are loaded from host:port/assets not
host:port/fonts
Solution: Replace the source url in @font-face, from ../fonts/ to
/assets
Original version:
@font-face {
font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings';
src: url('../fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot');
src: url('../fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('../fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff') format('woff'), url('../fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf') format('truetype'), url('../fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.svg#glyphicons_halflingsregular') format('svg');
}Edited version:
@font-face {
font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings';
src: url('/assets/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot');
src: url('/assets/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('/assets/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff') format('woff'), url('/assets/glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf') format('truetype'), url('/assets/glyphicons-halflings-regular.svg#glyphicons_halflingsregular') format('svg');
}
