I don't know what's wrong. It seems like I'm doing this right. I'm trying to use Font Awesome in my application but the font doesn't appear. I have a folder called fonts and in my application.rb included the line:
class Application < Rails::Application
# Enable the asset pipeline
config.assets.enabled = true
# This line
config.assets.paths << Rails.root.join("app", "assets", "fonts")
and than instead of having the 2 css files that come with Font-Awesome (CHANGED SEE BELOW) ( didn't need the IE7 one) I just put the main css inside of my application.css. Than I change the urls to detect the font files.
@font-face {
font-family: "FontAwesome";
src: url('<%= asset_path('fontawesome-webfont.eot') %>');
src: url('<%= asset_path('fontawesome-webfont.woff') %>') format('woff'),
url('<%= asset_path('fontawesome-webfont.ttf') %>') format('truetype'),
url('<%= asset_path('fontawesome-webfont.svg#FontAwesome') %>') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
I turned off the server and restarted after each change to the code but still no good. What am I missing?
UPDATE:
I'm not using SASS or LESS. Maybe the @font-face is the issue? I never seen this type of code use before.
UPDATE
I'm now using the font-awesome.css file. But its not showing up in my source code.

FULL ANSWER
This is how you can get it Font-Awesome working with inserting it normally.
QUOTE from: https://gist.github.com/2251151
1. Download font-awesome from https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome
2. Put the font folder font folder in the app/assets. I renamed the folder from font to fonts to make it clearer
3. Add config.assets.paths << "#{Rails.root}/app/assets/fonts" to config/application.rb. This is to include the apps/assets/fonts folder in the asset pipeline
4. Put the font-awesome.css file in the app/assets/stylesheets folder
5. The first part of the css should be:
@font-face {
font-family: 'FontAwesome';
src: url('fontawesome-webfont.eot');
src: url('fontawesome-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('fontawesome-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('fontawesome-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('fontawesome-webfont.svgz#FontAwesomeRegular') format('svg'),
url('fontawesome-webfont.svg#FontAwesomeRegular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}

You should then be able to use:
<div style="font-size: 24px;">
<i class="icon-camera-retro"></i> icon-camera-retro
</div>

You really need to put that code into a css.scss file then include it in the application.css (you will need the css.scss to use the asset_paths)
UPDATE: You will need to change your *= font-awesome to *= require font-awesome and also rename font-awesome.css to font-awesome.css.scss
