title: Rails: Font awesome icons not showing using font-awesome-rails gem
body: <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>
