Encoding error on compass font-face mixin

[morgoth]

I'm getting error similar to: #196

My stacktrace:

You can find source of this app on: https://github.com/morgoth/bridge-score
Not really sure if this is compass or sass problem.

Same, using compass 0.11.1 and haml-3.0.18 here.

[software-project]

Same for compass 0.11.1 and 3.2.0.alpha.3

I think the problem is the default character encoding. See https://github.com/nex3/haml/issues/269.

Im getting this same issue while using Ruby 1.9, rvm, and pow.

[rstacruz]

Fixed it by adding this to my app's initializers:

Encoding.default_encoding = 'utf-8'

[morgoth]

@rstacruz you mean: Encoding.default_external
Yes, this fixes problem.

[wprater]

The issue must be with rvm then, since the Encoding get reset out of my environment.

Had a similar problem and solved it by adding @charset "UTF-8"; to my font partial.
