I'm using asset pipeline for fonts (app/assets/fonts).

asset pipeline does process the fonts directory when I precompile, but it is not creating a gzip version for the font files (while it is creating ones for the JS/css files).

I'm using apache + passanger for serving rails.

Is there a way to make asset pipeline create gzip file for the font files?

As far as I can tell this is just hard coded into action pack:

https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/3-2-stable/actionpack/lib/sprockets/static_compiler.rb#L40

If I remember correctly, it's quite tricky to get apache to use the pre-gzipped files - you might find it sufficient to have apache gzip them on the fly
