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 \"

Answer 1

While this is late, you could use Compass's +font-face mix-in to avoid all this trouble. The mixin helps your life easier by

1. Not remember the awful caveats of the traditional font-face decleration

2. It internally handles url_helper and format declarations for you

3. It's far easier to remember

It is declared the following way madams and gentlemen:

+font-face("#{$font-name}",
  font-files("#{$font-name}.woff", woff, 
  "#{$fontFileName}.ttf", ttf, 
  "#{$fontFileName}.svg", svg), "#{$fontFileName}.eot", normal, normal);
