Ian,
You bet I would. How timely -- I've wasted the better part of a work day
trying to get rails-twitter-bootstrap and fontawesome to play nicely when
deployed under Apache + Passenger to a sub-uri.
The problem I have is that the path to the font files is resolved by
FontAwesome to just "assets", as opposed to "sub_uri/assets", so it's not
finding the font files and hence, not rendering the icons.
Your gem sounds like a possible solution to this problem. If anyone has
another suggestion, please let me know.
Cheers,
Chris
