Web fonts are pretty much all the rage. Using a CDN for font libraries, like TypeKit or Google Fonts, will be a great solution for many projects. For others, this is not an option. Especially when you are creating a custom icon library for your project.

Rails and the asset pipeline are great tools, but Rails has yet to get caught up in the custom web font craze.

As with all things Rails, there is more then one way to skin this cat. There is the recommended way, and then there are the other ways.

The recommended way

Here I will show how to update your Rails project so that you can use the asset pipeline appropriately and resource your files using the common Rails convention.

git branch -m old_branch new_branch         # Rename branch locally    
git push origin :old_branch                 # Delete the old branch    
git push --set-upstream origin new_branch   # Push the new branch, set local branch to track the new remote

belongs_to:

1. Assigning an object to a belongs_to association does not automatically save the object. It does not save the associated object either.

has_one:

1. When you assign an object to a has_one association, that object is automatically saved (in order to update its foreign key).
2. In addition, any object being replaced is also automatically saved, because its foreign key will change too
3. If either of these saves fails due to validation errors, then the assignment statement returns false and the assignment itself is cancelled.
4. If the parent object (the one declaring the has_one association) is unsaved (that is, new_record? returns true) then the child objects are not saved. They will automatically when the parent object is saved.
