1. Download font-awesome from https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome

 

2. Put the 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>
