I have absolutely no succes in getting IE 10 to display custom fonts. Has anyone else a solution for this? I can see a few shout-outs on the net that others have trouble with their fonts in IE 10, but no solutions or confirmed bugs to be found.
Anyone with the same experience or solution?
This is what I have right now, and it works well in IE before 10, Chrome and Safari:
#font-face {
font-family: "LCD";
src: url('http://www.somedomain.xxx/Public/Fonts/Quartz_Regular.ttf');
}
<!--[if IE]>
<style type="text/css">
#font-face {
font-family: "LCD";
src: url('http://www.somedomain.xxx/Public/Fonts/Quartz_Regular.eot');
}
</style>
<![endif]-->
I have tried to substitute with font files in other formats woff, ott etc. but no luck at all with that.
The answer which hinted at font-squirrel made it Work.
Now the working markup (for IE 10) is:
#font-face {
font-family: "LCD";
src: url('/Public/Fonts/quartz_regular-webfont.eot');
src: url('/Public/Fonts/quartz_regular-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('/Public/Fonts/quartz_regular-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('/Public/Fonts/quartz_regular-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('/Public/Fonts/quartz_regular-webfont.svg#quartzregular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
I assume this is in an HTML file, due to the HTML comments and style elements...if not, look into that.
Beyond that, just use the #font-face generator
Is it possible that IE10 does not render web fonts if Security Mode is activated? After deactivating (internet options - security) my websites were displayed correctly ...
I had the font-squirrel #font-face working in everything but IE, myproblem though was that the .woff was the only thing not included in IIS mime-types on my server. That might help someone who's also ended up on this question.
I just came across a client reporting he was unable to see the webfont on his website. Ends up that the "High" security level (in IE options) blocks web fonts by default. You can create a custom security level that is basically "High" but still enables web-fonts. Or just turn it down to medium-high.
The font-face not updated on IE 10 -> reference , you can use it same IE-9
you can learn how use font-face here
i think you include all type of your font...
I used this here:
http://www.impressivewebs.com/ie10-css-hacks/
More specifically:
#media screen and (min-width:0\0) {
/* IE9 and IE10 rule sets go here */
}
By using this we can just pop in a nice alternative font and still have sexyness in the other browsers with open fonts.
Try the fonts here:
http://cssfontstack.com
Must add that the fontface generator doesn't fix this for all fonts. When using the font Helvetica Neue Medium Condensed (HelveticaNeueLTW1G-MdCn) for instance. I'm using multiple fonts on a website. They all work with the fontface generator, except that Helvetica-font.

I tried to embed fonts in my blogger website, but it didn't work when I tested it on another PC without the font installed on that PC.
This is my blog Address: ann24h.com
My font is locate in another hosting: http://kesor168.com/sub/font/
<style>
#font-face {
font-family: Khmer OS Dangrek;
src: url(http://kesor168.com/sub/font/Khmer_OS_Dangrek.eot);
src: url(http://kesor168.com/sub/font/Khmer_OS_Dangrek.ttf);
}
#font-face {
font-family: Khmer OS Battambang;
src: url(http://kesor168.com/sub/font/Khmer_OS_Battambang.eot);
src: url(http://kesor168.com/sub/font/Khmer_OS_Battambang.ttf);
}
</style>
Any idea how to fix my CSS?
You need your name value pairs to have proper syntax. The font-family property needs "Example Font Name" (single or double quotes are fine) not Example Font Name
You currently only have an .eot and .ttf font files. Which only support IE9 and Safari on Android or iOS. If you have an IE fix for your .eot file then perhaps you'll gain support for IE6 - IE8.
#font-face {
font-family: 'Khmer OS Battambang';
src: url('http://kesor168.com/sub/font/Khmer_OS_Battambang.eot');
src: url('http://kesor168.com/sub/font/Khmer_OS_Battambang.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('http://kesor168.com/sub/font/Khmer_OS_Battambang.ttf') format('truetype')
}
To apply it to your entire page:
html, body {
font-family: 'Khmer OS Battambang', sans-serif;
}
I have one example above, you can easily make your other font-face by using the example.
Edit: You asked what line would you add so it would work on Google Chrome
Answer: Add the two lines below
url('Khmer_OS_Battambang.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('Khmer_OS_Battambang.woff') format('woff'),
The 'woff2' applies to really new modern browsers.
The 'woff' applies generally to modern browsers.
Of course you'll need the .woff and .woff2 files in the same directory as your other fonts. Also in the example I provided I only specified the file, you'll need to specify the directory.
I come across this problem all the time where my fonts work in every browser except Firefox. I have multiple sites that use multiple fonts all hosted on the same Cloudfront instance. Searching is pointless because every result is about setting up my CORS settings which work perfectly fine for every other browser and font file.
Currently I have a font file that shows up in the network tab as a 200 request and going directly to the file downloads it for me but I still get
downloadable font: download failed (font-family: "veneerregular" style:normal weight:normal stretch:normal src index:1): bad URI or cross-site access not allowed
source: http://example.com/fonts/CZ/veneer.ttf
in the console.
Here is my #font-face declaration
#font-face {
font-family: 'veneerregular';
src: url('/fonts/CZ/veneer.eot');
src: url('/fonts/CZ/veneer.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('/fonts/CZ/veneer.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('/fonts/CZ/veneer.svg#veneerregular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
I have also run this program against the ttf fonts to flip an embeddable flag so they will work in IE http://carnage-melon.tom7.org/embed/
The only solution that seems to work is to provide data-uris for the fonts but that creates HUGE css files which I don't want. Is there something I am missing? where else should I be looking? Seems like every 2 weeks some font stops working on firefox.
I'm looking to use a purchased web font that comes with WOFF and EOT font formats for web on a responsive website. Needless to say the format needs to work on all devices including Android.
I'm working with developers and they are telling me WOFF and EOT are not supported on such device.
My question is, that if it is possible to host through typekit, does this make a difference?
You are correct in stating that the default Android Browser does not support WOFF or EOT fonts. The only font format supported widely by Android devices is TTF/OTF. Some newer (3.0+) builds of Android will also support SVG fonts. Typically, a web font will come packaged with all three major formats: WOFF, EOT, and TTF/OTF. These three filetypes, when used with a correct #font-face in your CSS, will ensure that the font works correctly on nearly every device/browser in significant use today.
Your webfont should have come with all three major file formats. If not, you can use a tool such as the Font Squirrel Webfont Generator to obtain it. Hosting through typekit may also provide a solution, but typekit isn't free in some cases unlike doing the conversion yourself.
try this implementation
#font-face {
font-family: 'OpenSans';
src: url('fonts/OpenSans-Regular-webfont.eot');
src: url('fonts/OpenSans-Regular-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('fonts/OpenSans-Regular-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('fonts/OpenSans-Regular-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('fonts/OpenSans-Regular-webfont.svg#open_sansregular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
h1 {
font-family: 'OpenSans';
font-weight: 300%;
}

So I have an #font-face setup that works in everything but firefox - a common occurance according to google.
Here's the quircky bit. If I set the font-weight to bold (in firebug) it will work, if I set it back to normal it will return.
If I edit the font-face in firebug it will work instantly - even if I put it back to what it was in the first place.
eg:
#font-face {
font-family: PlayBold;
src: url(Play-Bold-webfont.eot);
src: url(Play-Bold-webfont.eot?#iefix) format('embedded-opentype'),
url(Play-Bold-webfont.woff) format('woff'),
url(Play-Bold-webfont.ttf) format('truetype'),
url(Play-Bold-webfont.svg#PlayBold) format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
font-variant: normal;
}
#testtext {
font-family: PlayBold;
}
Result: Not using the font.
Go into firebug and change anything in the font-face (even just replacing a character with the same character it used to have) and it starts working again.
Why doesn't firefox load the font-face properly in the first place?
Chromium 28, firefox 22.
When Gecko displays a page that uses web fonts, it initially displays
text using the best CSS fallback font available on the user's computer
while it waits for the web font to finish downloading. As each web
font finishes downloading, Gecko updates the text that uses that font.
This allows the user to read the text on the page more quickly.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/#font-face
THINGS TO TRY:
shuffling the font formats around, possibly putting the TTF or WOFF first
removing "font-variant: normal;" from the "#font-face" declaration because it doesn't belong there
properly quote the uri's in your css url(file.ttf) -> url('file.ttf')
~last resort~ use a data uri generator and embed the fonts into the CSS
src: url('data:application/octet-stream;base64,BLAHBLAHBLAH==') format('embedded-opentype'),
I'm using a font called Gotham on my new website. It was not font-face ready, so I did that myself. It works fine on my Mac, and works fine too in my Windows machine in Chrome and Safari. But the font is not rendered smooth in IE and FireFox
See the images attached for the difference. (I can't post images yet because I'm a new registered user, so see this link for the screenshot: http://i45.tinypic.com/f35hqq.png
This is how it is set up. I think I did okay, because the fonts are shown in all browsers, just the rendering is not optimal in all of the Windows browsers.
#font-face {
font-family: 'gotham-light';
src: url('../fonts/gotham-light/gotham-light.eot');
src: url('../fonts/gotham-light/gotham-light.svg#gotham-light') format('svg'),
url('../fonts/gotham-light/gotham-light.woff') format('woff'),
url('../fonts/gotham-light/gotham-light.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../fonts/gotham-light/gotham-light.svg#gotham-light') format('svg'),
url('../fonts/gotham-light/gotham-light.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype');
}
Is there any way to fix this? Maybe a jQuery solution or something?
Have you included all necessary font types? Each browser recognizes different font formats. If you converted the font for use on the web using a service such as Font Squirrel: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/ then you should have been provided with each font type as well as some example CSS (below) to plug in. Make sure to include each format in your #font-face selector to optimize the font across all browsers:
#font-face {
font-family: 'gotham';
src: url('../font/gothamfont.eot');
src: url('../font/gothamfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../font/gothamfont.svg') format('svg'),
url('../font/gothamfont.svg#gotham') format('svg'),
url('../font/gothamfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('../font/gothamfont.ttf') format('truetype');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
Hope this helps! Gotham is a great font :)
EDIT: Windows has some issues with displaying fonts properly. I use Mac OS and Windows on a regular basis and notice many inconsistencies. I think you've done all you can do without intervention from the major browsers. Good luck!
