1. For Rails 4.2, copy the custom fonts to the folder app/assets/fonts. I am using the purchased fonts OpenSans.
2. Declare your font in your css file like this:
@font-face {
font-family: 'OpenSans-Bold';
src:url('OpenSans-Bold.ttf');
}
3. Use the declared font in css. For example:
font-family: 'OpenSans-Regular'
4. Add gem 'font-awesome-sass' to Gemfile
5. Run bundle intall
6. In application.scss, add:
@import "font-awesome-sprockets";
@import "font-awesome";
