font-awesome icons not displaying

Question

I installed the gem "font-awesome-sass" , and my static page is not loading the icons. Texts are appearing instead of the actual line

<li><i class="fa fa-twitter fa-1g "></i> fa-twitter</li>

this is an example how i'm calling it. I'm not sure where to go from here, since the guide to use font-awesome was pretty much installing the gem

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

You need to require it in the asset pipeline still

Put this in your application.css.scss

*= require font-awesome
