Getting bootstrap-wysihtml5-rails to use font-awesome instead of bootstrap glyphicons

Question

After searching on the Internet for an hour trying to find a simple, how-to write up of how to substitute bootstrap glphicons for font-awesome when using the bootstrap-wysihtml5-rails gem, I came up empty handed. I did find a variety of issues with loading the fonts.

Does anyone have a current write up on how to do this?

Alternatively, perhaps you can help with getting my rails sass app to use both font-awesome and bootstrap icons in parallel so that bootstrap-wysihtml5-rails works. Right now, I am getting an error: "RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/fonts/bootstrap/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff")" (localhost - with or without precompiled assets) which many folks have struggled with. I tried the many suggestions here, here, here and others to no avail.

Any and all help is appreciated!
