if IE8 thinks it supports any other format other than eot of the ones listed below, then it will probably try to use that one. Maybe you could use a IE8 hack, like

src: local('☺'), url('../fonts/klavika.woff') format('woff'), url('../fonts/klavika.ttf') format('truetype'), url('../fonts/klavika.svg') format('svg');
src /*\**/: url('../fonts/klavika.eot')\9
