Font Awesome Failed to load resource /font/fontawesome-webfont.woff?v=3.0.1

font-awesomegrails

Everything looks fine on the site, but those two errors are showing up in the console. If I hit the url the font downloads. Been trying to track this down for a while, but I am getting two errors in the console:

Failed to load resource resource:/font/fontawesome-webfont.woff?v=3.0.1
Failed to load resource resource:/font/fontawesome-webfont.ttf?v=3.0.1

How can I get rid of this error?

I recently encountered and solved this problem. The solution is to add the 'font' directory, and any other directories you want resources to be processed to your adhoc includes, so it ends up looking something like this in config.groovy (add directories as needed if you have resources elsewhere).

grails.resources.adhoc.includes = ['/images/**', '/css/**', '/js/**', '/font/**']

Css – Font Awesome fonts show up as boxes on IE8

I had the same problem and found a solution, I'll post it here in case anyone still needs it.

The problem was that IE failed to load the font files, it was constructing weird GET requests that returned 404 errors.

Using the trick found here: http://www.fontspring.com/blog/fixing-ie9-font-face-problems I was able to fix the issue.

Add ?#iefix to the eot url in the CSS that contains the font-face (in this case font-awesome.css)

@font-face {
font-family: 'MyWebFont';
src: url('webfont.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
     url('webfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Modern Browsers */
     url('webfont.ttf')  format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
     url('webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}

Firefox – Fontawesome Icons not working on IE9 and Chrome

Like the console says: you're doing cross-origin font loads and not sending the right headers from the server to allow that. See http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-fonts/#same-origin-restriction for the spec on this (which Chrome and IE are not following).
