This means that the compiled application.css contains the result of compiling fonts/stylesheet.scss

The error you're seeing indicates that you're link directly to fonts/stylesheet.css (ie the produced HTML contains a <link> tag whose href is pointing at that file.

If you want to be able to link to css or javascript like this you need to add the file to the list of items to precompile separately ( there's a setting for this in production.rb). Alternately you could just link to application.css

Thanks for the response Frederick.

I did see in my application.rb that I could add

 config.assets.paths << "#{Rails.root}/app/assets/stylesheets/fonts"

 config.assets.precompile += ["fonts/stylesheets.css"]

but both gave me the same error as in my first post. Am I specifying this incorrectly somehow? 

How would I do the alternative linking to application.css if all else fails?
