Symfony2 and Twitter Bootstrap glyphicons

I created a Bundle in order to include Twitter Bootstap into my project. I'm aware, that there existing Bundles for that but I wan't to take control of it by myself. That means I don't want to install Less compiler and stuff like that.

The .js and .css file are applied well if I include them as follows into my template:

{% block javascripts %}
{% javascripts
'@MyAssetBundle/Resources/public/js/jquery.min.js'
'@MyAssetBundle/Resources/public/js/bootstrap.js' %}
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ asset_url }}"></script>
{% endjavascripts %}
{% endblock %}

{% block stylesheets %}
{% stylesheets '@MyAssetBundle/Resources/public/css/*' filter='cssrewrite' %}
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset_url }}" />
{% endstylesheets %}
{% endblock %}

I only struggle with including the appropriate fonts in order to use the glyphicons Bootstrap provides.

According to the css definitions the fonts are supposed to be available at ../fonts relative to the css-file. In fact I put them there. But Symfony2 resolves this relative urls into an absolute path and does not find a route for that.

How can I solve this? I really feel like I didn't get a important part of the Symfony2 concepts here.

I also had this issue.

The answer from @albertedevigo is working just fine but there might be a case when you need to take an additional precaution:

Make sure you have extracted the full bootstrap zip before moving its files in your web folder.

I first only moved them from inside the ZIP and they would appear in green in my windows explorer and I could not access them. So make sure you unzip the folder first before moving its content and have the full access write on the files.

Use the cssrewrite filter provided by Assetic to correct the paths within your CSS files.

{% stylesheets filter='cssrewrite'
    'bundles/myassetbundle/css/bootstrap.min.css' %}
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset_url }}" />
{% endstylesheets %}

Make sure that you are using the bundles/myassetbundle/... notation instead of the @MyAssetBundle one.

Read the Symfony docs about this matter.
