Outlook 2007 / 2013 not rendering CSS font-family declarations

Question

I\'m testing an email design with Litmus and for the life of me I cannot get my fonts to be properly set in Outlook 2007 / 2010 / 2013. Every single HTML / CSS trick / hack

Answer 1

I traced the issue to my STYLE declaration, which uses the @font-face to pull in a custom font file for supporting clients (i.e. Apple). Apparently, something about this use of the @font-face declaration breaks in Outlook 2007 - 20013.

I needed to get MS Outlook to ignore this STYLE tag, so I wrapped the entire block with the [if !mso] tag:

Wow, that was driving me crazy.
