Nested @font-face results in invalid syntax

See original GitHub issue

Input:

.foo {
  @font-face {
   font-family: "Ionicons";
   src:url("../fonts/ionicons.eot?v=1.4.0");
   src:url("../fonts/ionicons.eot?v=1.4.0#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"),
    url("../fonts/ionicons.ttf?v=1.4.0") format("truetype"),
    url("../fonts/ionicons.woff?v=1.4.0") format("woff"),
    url("../fonts/ionicons.svg?v=1.4.0#Ionicons") format("svg");
   font-weight: normal;
   font-style: normal;
  }
}

Result:

@font-face {
  .foo {
    font-family: "Ionicons";
    src: url("../fonts/ionicons.eot?v=1.4.0");
    src: url("../fonts/ionicons.eot?v=1.4.0#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"), url("../fonts/ionicons.ttf?v=1.4.0") format("truetype"), url("../fonts/ionicons.woff?v=1.4.0") format("woff"), url("../fonts/ionicons.svg?v=1.4.0#Ionicons") format("svg");
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal; } }

Could I put the font-face outside? Certainly, but what I am attempting here to wrap an entire stylesheet (imports and all) in an outer selector, to provide a stylesheet for an embeddable widget that must not clobber any other styles on the page. I can move fonts outside the top-level selector, but it does make my stylesheets more awkward, and I have to break them up more.

I’d kind of prefer to just leave the behavior as-is.

Hi Guys, this is abnormal behavior. Sometimes it’s impossible to wrap directives into @at-root. Example: I’m using font-awesome and want to restrict it by wrapping into higher order css class to prevent css class name collisions ( I need to embed my site into another one where the same libraries could be used with different overrides).

Does this work for you?

.foo {
  @at-root {
    @font-face {
     font-family: "Ionicons";
     src:url("../fonts/ionicons.eot?v=1.4.0");
     src:url("../fonts/ionicons.eot?v=1.4.0#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"),
      url("../fonts/ionicons.ttf?v=1.4.0") format("truetype"),
      url("../fonts/ionicons.woff?v=1.4.0") format("woff"),
      url("../fonts/ionicons.svg?v=1.4.0#Ionicons") format("svg");
     font-weight: normal;
     font-style: normal;
    }
  }
}
