Hello,
My site: [https://2018-fonttest.netlify.com](https://2018-fonttest.netlify.com)
I am trying to add some fonts to a website. They appear to load correctly in chrome, however, I get 404 errors saying the files are missing. They do appear in firefox without console errors. I am using the netlify victor-hugo boilerplate. [https://github.com/netlify-templates/victor-hugo](https://github.com/netlify-templates/victor-hugo)
The font stylesheets are being imported into the main.css. The following pictures show the project structure and css.

Hello, could you try using /fonts/ instead of …/fonts? Make sure the fonts directory is at the root level of your static assets directory

I’m not sure the assumption you’re using for that path will work. Like @Weru says, put your fonts in `/static` in your project (under “site” for you I think), which gets merged by Hugo to the root of your site on publish.
Reference the files accordingly.

I have all the font files in /static/fonts/ folder
All the files are copied over to /dist/fonts/ folder
I have my @font-face in the main.css as follows
```auto
@font-face {
font-family: 'my-font';
src: url("/fonts/my-font");
src: url("/fonts/my-font") format('embedded-opentype'),
url("/fonts/my-font") format('woff'),
url("/fonts/my-font") format('truetype'),
url("/fonts/my-font") format('svg');
font-weight: bold;
font-style: normal;
}
```
My command line says source is compiled without error.
However, the fonts are not displayed, and there are no font files under ‘sources’ tab of the chrome dev tools.
But if I go to url/fonts/my-font.woff the file actually downloads to the browser.
