source-sans-pro-rails

Adds Adobe's Source Sans Pro font to Rails via the asset pipeline.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'source-sans-pro-rails'

And then execute:

$ bundle

If you want to include all of the font weight variations, simply add this to application.css:

/*
 *= require source-sans-pro
 */

You can also load just the font variants that are interesting to you. They are in the source-sans-pro directory, so just change the above line to:

/*
 *= require source-sans-pro/regular
 *= require source-sans-pro/bold
 */

And so forth. Currently, the supported font variants are:

• Regular (regular)
• Italic (italic)
• Light (light - font weight 300)
• Extra Light (extralight - font weight 100)
• Semibold (semibold - font weight 600)
• Bold (bold)
• Black (black - font weight 800)

Add it to your CSS styles:

font-family: 'SourceSansPro';

And adjust the weight in the same way as with any other font:

font-weight: 400;
