@font-face ie problems

Question

I have tried a few different ways to include the correct fonts in the CSS. I know that I need the eot version for the font to work on IE, but I can\'t get it to recognize i

Answer 1

This is the css I have for Bebas on our site (not Neue), but note the URL:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'Bebas';
    src: url('../fonts/bebas-webfont.eot');
    src: url('../fonts/bebas-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
         url('../fonts/bebas-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
         url('../fonts/bebas-webfont.svg#bebasregular') format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
}

Answer 2

This code should make it work.. if not, check your font URL (if it exists).

@font-face {
  font-family: 'BebasNeue';
  src: url('fonts/BebasNeue.eot');
  src: local('BebasNeue'), local('BebasNeue'), url('fonts/BebasNeue.eot') format('embedded-opentype');
}

Answer 3

Sometimes when you convert font type (other that TTF) the font doesn't work.. Try to use TTF font and convert it..

I didn't experience that with TTF fonts.. but i did with other font types.

Answer 4

You need to set Access-Control-Allow-Origin HTTP Header for this
See here:
IE9 blocks download of cross-origin web font

Does this work?

@font-face {
    font-family: 'BebasNeue';
    src: url('fonts/BebasNeue.eot');
    src: url('fonts/BebasNeue.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
         url('fonts/BebasNeue.otf') format("opentype");
}

On Fontsquirrel they do it this way
http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontfacedemo/bebas-neue

Download the @font-face kit from there

@font-face {
    font-family: 'BebasNeueRegular';
    src: url('/utils/load_demo_font.php?font=960/BebasNeue-webfont.eot');
    src: url('/utils/load_demo_font.php?font=960/BebasNeue-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
         url('/utils/load_demo_font.php?font=960/BebasNeue-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
         url('/utils/load_demo_font.php?font=960/BebasNeue-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
         url('/utils/load_demo_font.php?font=960/BebasNeue-webfont.svg#BebasNeueRegular') format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;

}
