Why does this fontface render in IE8:
@font-face {
font-family: 'Aller';
src: url('aller_rg-webfont.eot');
src: url('aller_rg-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('aller_rg-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('aller_rg-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('aller_rg-webfont.svg#AllerRegular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
And this does not:
@font-face {
font-family: 'Champagne';
src: url('champreg-webfont.eot');
src: url('champreg-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('champreg-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('champreg-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('champreg-webfont.svg#Champagne&LimousinesRegular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
I really can't figure it out. All other browsers work fine, obviously.
Try creating a new .eot
file with one of the others using an online woff/ttf/svg to eot convertor.
- http://www.font2web.com/
- http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator <- might have problems because they black list font names.
If this new file doesn't work, then it might be a problem with the font itself. Sometimes IE6-8 has a fit if the Fontname and Family Name are not the same within the actual font file. To fix it:
- You'll need to download FontForge
- Open up the font
- From the menu, choose
Element
> Font Info
- Ensure the Fontname, Family Name and Name for Humans are all the same
- Save the font as a TTF or OTF and use an online convertor to spit out an EOT file.
Every issue I've had with font-face - if the CSS was correct - worked with one of the above two solutions, so good luck :-) Maybe even try saving the font without any changes in FontForge and converting that online before you fiddle with the name properties.
- Added this to htaccess. "BrowserMatch MSIE best-standards-support Header set X-UA-Compatible IE=8 env=best-standards-support"
- trying to reconvert eot font
- doc compactibility mode chnage
- tried usleep function
- setInterval js
- add google html5 script
- call css in body part for ie8
- add data-icon class
- ad pseudo elements js
- add png & svg filters in css
- check font type Permission in server
but finally works when added
.sass and .less css
files
happy coding...

Under IIS (MVC environment) I had to add the following rule to my Web.config:
<system.web>
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="GET" path="*.eot" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" />
<add verb="GET" path="*.svg" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" />
<add verb="GET" path="*.ttf" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" />
<add verb="GET" path="*.woff" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" />
<add verb="GET" path="*.otf" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" />
</httpHandlers>
</system.web>
