Custom Web Fonts and the Rails Asset Pipeline

Web fonts are pretty much all the rage. Using a CDN for font libraries, like TypeKit or Google Fonts, will be a great solution for many projects. For others, this is not an option. Especially when you are creating a custom icon library for your project.

Rails and the asset pipeline are great tools, but Rails has yet to get caught up in the custom web font craze.

As with all things Rails, there is more then one way to skin this cat. There is the recommended way, and then there are the other ways.

The recommended way

Here I will show how to update your Rails project so that you can use the asset pipeline appropriately and resource your files using the common Rails convention.

Overview

Here, you might lay out the reasons behind writing this code. You can link to specs, issues, or bugs in order to give someone a better idea of how a decision was made. This is your chance to give context to your reviewer. Ego depletion - the idea that willpower is used up over time - can be easily applied to your reviewer. We are human, after all. You'll likely get one shot at a quality review, so help your reviewer help you. Flush out this section.

Testing

How did you test this code? Did you write a unit test, or test it manually? Can you provide an animated gif or a screenshot to demonstrate your code does what it purports to do? What about test output or a useful snippet from a logfile? Help show that your code works.

🚨🚨🚨 (Risks)

Is there some part of the code that you know probably doesn't work as it should? Call out potential weak spots, and get help addressing them.
