Glyphicons don't work in BS3 downloaded through Bower

[rikiless]

As specified in variables.less:

@icon-font-path:          "../fonts/";

It throws error in Chrome: GET http://herpy.derpy.local/assets/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff 500 (Internal Server Error)

Solution working with bower (not tested when using customizer etc):

@icon-font-path:          "../bootstrap/fonts/";

¿How is this closed if I'm seeing this error still today?

[rikiless]

i closed this because no body is participant of this issue. i thought i am doing something wrong. the solution is to overwrite @icon-font-path value in LESS.

I'm new to less, when I tried to compile the bootstrap.less I had an error compiling it I figured it was because the variables is in a different file, anyway it became to time consuming so I copied the fonts folder and that solved it. I know it might sound a lot harder than it actually is, but shouldn't there be a way to add a configuration so we dont have to do all this? or at least a script that fixes it somehow?

[rikiless]

you should use your own less file, for example screen.less. in this file you have to import bootstrap.less and than overwrite @icon-font-path value.

now i got it! it was caused by storing web content to /web folder instead of root of project's directory.

}

in LESS the line ..

@icon-font-path:          "../fonts/";

.. need to be overwritten to:

@icon-font-path:          "../bootstrap/fonts/";

@gregory You presumably want #13542 instead.

I had a similar issue... in my case the library was under an alias domain (nginx) and solve it by refining* the domain's configuration file.
my guess is that it always comes to a misconfiguration of font files path.

• the alias (domain) was configured to serve specific files and those of fonts were not included.
