@font-face not loading in IE (WordPress)


Question

If you go to the main website, the @font-face is working fine on all browsers but when I go into the blog which is WordPress then my @font-face does not work in IE but works in Chrome and Firefox. Does anyone know why it does not work?

Hmm, annoyingly I had the same problem but cannot think what it was!

Did you use font squirrel? If so literally copy everything they did for the CSS, evne the /* Gener...................

See if the problem still happens

I use the font squirrel gen code. I try to use a direct link to the font but then Firefox does not work. This is driving me crazy. It works if I use the CV in IE but I don't want it to do that. NON WordPress works fine. I'm testing it on IE10.

This is annoying me, as well. What do you mean by CV?

I'm thinking there's something wrong with the font file itself.

Ah, for what it's worth, it doesn't work in IE8. Also the left column drops too low.

See here for some suggestions to try: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12449512/why-does-one-of-these-font-face-render-in-ie8-but-the-others-dont/12459447#12459447

I'm thinking it might be a naming issue.

Try this, make your font location absolute rather than relative.

@font-face {

font-family: 'Bold';

src: url('/fonts/bold-webfont.eot');

src: local('?'), url('/fonts/bold-webfont.woff') format('woff'),

url('/fonts/bold-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),

url('/fonts/bold-webfont.svg') format('svg');

font-weight: normal;

font-style: normal;

}

@font-face {

font-family: 'Book';

src: url('/fonts/book-webfont.eot');

src: local('?'), url('/fonts/book-webfont.woff') format('woff'),

url('/fonts/book-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),

url('/fonts/book-webfont.svg') format('svg');

font-weight: normal;

font-style: normal;

}

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
