    text
    copied!<p>I'm trying to use the Rails 3.1 Asset Pipeline to store some fonts that I'm using across multiple applications. I've tried just about every combination of storage location but I can't seem to get the pipeline to actually pick up my font files. They will show up in <code>public/assets</code> when I run <code>rake assets:precompile</code> but they aren't available from any <code>asset_path</code> helpers and I haven't been able to figure out why.</p> <p>Example from <code>fonts.css.erb</code>:</p> <pre><code>@font-face { font-family: 'MuseoSans'; src: url('&lt;%= asset_path('museosans_500_italic_webfont.eot') %&gt;'); src: url('&lt;%= asset_path('museosans_500_italic_webfont.eot?#iefix') %&gt;') format('eot'), url('&lt;%= asset_path('museosans_500_italic_webfont.woff') %&gt;') format('woff'), url('&lt;%= asset_path('museosans_500_italic_webfont.ttf') %&gt;') format('truetype'), url('&lt;%= asset_path('museosans_500_italic_webfont.svg#webfontcWw5DXpH') %&gt;') format('svg'); font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; } </code></pre> <p>Output of <code>ls app/assets/images</code> (stuck it in <code>images</code> since <code>assets/fonts</code> wasn't working, but had the same lack of working both times):</p> <pre><code>museosans_100_italic_webfont.eot museosans_500_webfont.eot museosans_100_italic_webfont.svg museosans_500_webfont.svg museosans_100_italic_webfont.ttf museosans_500_webfont.ttf museosans_100_italic_webfont.woff museosans_500_webfont.woff museosans_100_webfont.eot museosans_700_italic_webfont.eot museosans_100_webfont.svg museosans_700_italic_webfont.svg museosans_100_webfont.ttf museosans_700_italic_webfont.ttf museosans_100_webfont.woff museosans_700_italic_webfont.woff museosans_300_italic_webfont.eot museosans_700_webfont.eot museosans_300_italic_webfont.svg museosans_700_webfont.svg museosans_300_italic_webfont.ttf museosans_700_webfont.ttf museosans_300_italic_webfont.woff museosans_700_webfont.woff museosans_300_webfont.eot museosans_900_italic_webfont.eot museosans_300_webfont.svg museosans_900_italic_webfont.svg museosans_300_webfont.ttf museosans_900_italic_webfont.ttf museosans_300_webfont.woff museosans_900_italic_webfont.woff museosans_500_italic_webfont.eot museosans_900_webfont.eot museosans_500_italic_webfont.svg museosans_900_webfont.svg museosans_500_italic_webfont.ttf museosans_900_webfont.ttf museosans_500_italic_webfont.woff museosans_900_webfont.woff </code></pre> <p>I've tried accessing from:</p> <ul> <li><code>/assets/museosans_500_italic_webfont.svg</code></li> <li><code>/assets/images/museosans_500_italic_webfont.svg</code></li> <li><code>/images/museosans_500_italic_webfont.svg</code></li> </ul> <p>It's not picking it up anywhere. Any thoughts?</p>
