glyphicons not showing with sass bootstrap integration

Question

I used this tutorial to integrate bootstrap in my project:

https://laravel-news.com/2015/10/setup-bootstrap-sass-with-laravel-elixir/

This places an app.css file in the css folder. However if I try to use glyphicons they don't show up. So I tried to modify the elixir file like this:

    elixir(function(mix) {

    mix.sass('app.scss')
        .browserify('app.js')
        .copy('node_modules/bootstrap-sass/assets/fonts', 'public/css/fonts')   

});

The fonts folder is copied under public/css/fonts but yet no icon shows up. What am I missing here? Any clue?

in my app.css the path seems correct, for example:

src: url("fonts/bootstrap/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot");

Answer 1

I had the same problem with fresh install of laravel 5.2. What I did is just inspected the request path in browser which was :

../build/fonts/bootstrap/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff2

so I just added to gulp.js this :

mix.copy('node_modules/bootstrap-sass/assets/fonts/bootstrap/','public/build/fonts/bootstrap'); 

and afterwards in terminal :

gulp

That did the trick for me!
