I can’t get my fonts to work

Having trouble getting fonts to work I was using Berlin Sans Serif but it was working so I tried downloading another font to replace it but that’s not working either

I placed the font in app/assets/fonts and in my stylesheet i put the following:

p@font-face {
    font-family: "negro";
    src: url(/assets/fonts/ufonts.com_metrolis-negro-opentype.otf) format("truetype");
}

#larger_blue_text { color: #0000FF; font-family: “negro”; }

And in my view i put:

Some text

I think you might have to setup config.assets.path, though I am not certain. See

So then I have to add to my assets.rb file something beginning with Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += %w( ?

It said to add

config.assets.paths << Rails.root.join("app", "assets", "fonts")
to application.rb, i did that and restarted the server but it didn't help
It also said for rails 4 you don't have to do anything but place the font
file in assets/fonts but otherwise for rails 4.2+ I'm using rails 4.18 and
it doesn't say anything specifically to 4.1+ so can i assume my version should
be treated as 4, i don't know

I changed src: url(/assets/fonts/ufonts.com_ metrolis-negro-opentype.otf) format(“truetype”);

to src: font-url(/assets/fonts/ufonts.com_ metrolis-negro-opentype.otf’) format(“truetype”); but the font still doesn’t get applied

metrolis-negro-opentype.otf) format(“truetype”); and that got me a syntax error expected “)” was “.otf…” that error goes away and the page comes back if i put single quotes src: url('/assets/fonts/ufonts.com_

There is no Rails 4.18
