I have downloaded a custom icon font from fontello and intend to use it in my meteor app. I tried the demo that comes with the downloaded package and the fonts display fine. Here is my css:
@font-face {
font-family: 'fontello';
src: url('fonts/fontello.eot?98991264');
src: url('fonts/fontello.eot?98991264#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('fonts/fontello.woff?98991264') format('woff'),
url('fonts/fontello.ttf?98991264') format('truetype'),
url('fonts/fontello.svg?98991264#fontello') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
[class^="icon-"]:before, [class*=" icon-"]:before {
font-family: "fontello";
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
speak: none;
display: inline-block;
text-decoration: inherit;
width: 1em;
margin-right: .2em;
text-align: center;
/* For safety - reset parent styles, that can break glyph codes*/
font-variant: normal;
text-transform: none;
/* fix buttons height, for twitter bootstrap */
line-height: 1em;
}
.icon-twitter:before { content: '\e805'; } /* '' */
.icon-github-circled:before { content: '\e804'; } /* '' */
.icon-pencil:before { content: '\e801'; } /* '' */
.icon-cancel:before { content: '\e802'; } /* '' */
.icon-chat:before { content: '\e800'; } /* '' */
My folder structure is like so /client/css/styles.css
and for the fonts /client/css/fonts/
In my html I have added this markup <i class="icon-twitter"></i>
and unfortunately all i see when I view the page this is all I see
Any help would be great. Thanks
If you want to reference your fonts at your.domain.com/fonts/font_name.x
, you should move your fonts
directory to a directory labeled public
. You can then access them using the path /fonts/font_name.x
.
Take a look at the Unofficial Meteor FAQ found here: https://github.com/oortcloud/unofficial-meteor-faq#where-should-i-put-my-files
public/ # <- static files, such as images, that are served directly.
Or the Meteor documentation directly: http://docs.meteor.com/#structuringyourapp
Lastly, the Meteor server will serve any files under the public directory, just like in a Rails or Django project. This is the place for images, favicon.ico, robots.txt, and anything else.
