Rails: Font awesome icons not showing using font-awesome-rails gem
<p>I can't seem to find an answer that works for me.</p>

<p>The icon shows up as a box: </p>

<p>I'm using:</p>

<pre><code>font-awesome-rails (4.6.2.0)
rails (4.2.3)
</code></pre>

<p>I imported font-awesome-rails in my application.scss file using:</p>

<pre><code>@import "font-awesome";
</code></pre>

<p>and here is what I wrote for the view:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;i class="quote-left fa fa-quote-left"&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I've tried including it before and after bootstrap.</p>

<p>I also tried manually adding the font folder to the pipeline in application.rb</p>

<pre><code>config.assets.paths &lt;&lt; Rails.root.join("app", "assets", "fonts")
</code></pre>

<p>Clearing the tmp folder didn't seem to do anything either.</p>

<p>I spent way too much time on this, please help :(</p>
