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.

Setup

Docker for Mac lets you run any Linux executable in an isolated process on Mac. A graphical app is just another process, that needs access to the X11 socket of the system, or an X11 server. You can run X11 applications on a Mac using an open source project called Xquartz. The steps to expose XQuartz to a Linux process running in Docker are simple:

1. install XQuartz from xquartz.org. Note: you need to install XQuartz version 2.7.10, version 2.7.11 does not work with Docker for Mac. Then you have 3 choices:
2. Proxy the XQuartz socket to port 6000 or
3. Tell Xquartz to accept network calls. This is not very secure.
4. Tell Xquartz to accept network calls and require authentication, setup X11 security using xauth, and mount ~/.Xauthority in the container.
