Using @font-face with Rails 3.1 app?

css, font-face, ruby-on-rails-3.1, sass

Solution

You have to add the folder to the assets path (to file `config/application.rb`), see Rails Guides

config.assets.paths << "#{Rails.root}/app/assets/fonts"

And you should use the `asset_path` helper:

src: url('<%= asset_path('Chunkfive-webfont.eot') %>');

Problem

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 "Fonts" alongside `images` and `stylesheets` and `javascripts` Here is the declaration I used (generated by Font Squirrel.) ``` @font-face { font-family: 'ChunkFiveRegular'; src: url('Chunkfive-webfont.eot'); src: url('Chunkfive-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('Chunkfive-webfont.woff') format('woff'), url('Chunkfive-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), url('Chunkfive-webfont.svg#ChunkFiveRegular') format('svg'); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; } ``` Anyone successfully utilize @font-face on their Rails 3.1 app? Update I just read this thread http://spin.atomicobject.com/2011/09/26/serving-fonts-in-rails-3-1/ that said to change `url` to `font-url` in the declarations. That didn't seem to work either unfortunately.
