Fontawesome is not working when project is built with grunt

I'm using the font library font awesome. It works when the project is not built/uglified with grunt.

But when I'm building the project with grunt it's not working. I get this error in console: .../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff?v=4.0.3 404 (Not Found)

I've scaffolded the project with yeoman.

This is my ref in index.html

    <!-- build:css styles/fontawesome.css -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="bower_components/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css">
    <!-- endbuild -->

Any ideas what can be wrong?

Update I need to copy the folder /bower_components/font-awesome/fonts to dist/fonts. This needs to be done in the grunt-file. Probably under the "copy" options

copy: {
  dist: {
    files: [{
      expand: true,
      dot: true,
      cwd: '<%= yeoman.app %>',
      dest: '<%= yeoman.dist %>',
      src: [
        '*.{ico,png,txt}',
        '.htaccess',
        'bower_components/**/*',
        'images/{,*/}*.{gif,webp}',
        'styles/fonts/*'
      ]
    }, {
      expand: true,
      cwd: '.tmp/images',
      dest: '<%= yeoman.dist %>/images',
      src: [
        'generated/*'
      ]
    }]
  },

But I'm not really sure where to include this.

I had the same problem. The following code solved my problem.

copy: {
    dist: {
        files: [{
            expand: true,
            dot: true,
            cwd: '<%= config.app %>',
            dest: '<%= config.dist %>',
            src: [
                '*.{ico,png,txt}',
                '.htaccess',
                'images/{,*/}*.webp',
                '{,*/}*.html',
                'styles/fonts/{,*/}*.*'
            ]
        },{
            expand: true,
            dot: true,
            cwd: 'bower_components/bootstrap/dist', // change this for font-awesome
            src: ['fonts/*.*'],
            dest: '<%= config.dist %>'
        }]
    }
}

Solution 2:

If you're using SASS in your project, I found a more straightforward way that doesn't involve changing the grunt file if anyone is interested:

http://likesalmon.net/use-font-awesome-on-yeoman-angularjs-projects/

Basically include these 2 lines at the top of your main.scss file and the fonts should work.

$fa-font-path: "/bower_components/font-awesome/fonts/";
@import "font-awesome/scss/font-awesome";
