Rails 4.1 and Bootstrap 3 glyphicons are not working

Question

I am trying to get rid of the glyphicon errors in my Rails 4 project that's using Bootstrap 3. I'm not using any Bootstrap gems to add it to the asset pipeline. I manually added bootstrap.css and bootstrap.js to their respective app/assets directories and added them to application.css and application.js What I'm seeing now is the following in my web browser's console:

GET http://localhost:3000/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff 404 (Not Found) localhost/:1
GET http://localhost:3000/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf 404 (Not Found) localhost/:1
GET http://localhost:3000/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.svg 404 (Not Found) 

What can be done to fix this in a Ruby on Rails application? I tried copying said files to app/assets/fonts and popped this into application.rb:

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

No luck.

All solutions provided above are dirty hacks. The correct way to solve this issue is to include "bootstrap-sprockets" before bootstrap in your sass files:

@import "bootstrap-sprockets";
@import "bootstrap";
