Assets Containment and Routes #1

Closed johnkoht closed 12 years ago

Hey Craig,

Where are you defining the routes to your assets and resources. I see your using a custom asset-url(..., type) but I can't find how to add a new asset type for "fonts". I added a folder called fonts under app/assets but it's not able to locate it

craigulliott commented 12 years ago

Rails 3.1 uses an "asset pipeline"

http://guides.rubyonrails.org/asset_pipeline.html

For custom fonts, can we just use type kit? I have an account already setup.

johnkoht commented 12 years ago

Gotham font isn't on typekit. We can definitely switch to a similar font available on typekit. I'll have Patrick find one that matches the design.

Thanks for info on assets pipeline.

Sounds good, thanks
