Font Assets

This little gem helps serve font-face assets in Rails 3.1. It really does these two things:

• Registers font Mime Types for woff, eot, tff, and svg font files
• Sets Access-Control-Allow-Origin response headers for font assets, which Firefox requires for cross domain fonts

Install

Add font_assets to your Gemfile:

gem 'font_assets'

Usage

Set the origin domain that will get set in the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header

# in config/environments/production.rb

config.font_assets.origin = 'http://codeschool.com'

The origin domain must match the domain of the site serving the page that is requesting the font, not the host of the font. For example, if you are using a CDN to serve your assets (like CloudFront), and the full path to the font asset is http://d3rd6rvl24noqd.cloudfront.net/assets/fonts/Pacifico-webfont-734f1436e605566ae2f1c132905e28b2.woff, but the URI the user is visiting if http://coffeescript.codeschool.com/level/1, you'd want to set the origin head to this:

config.font_assets.origin = 'http://coffeescript.codeschool.com'
