I managed to use a custom font which works in every browser that deserves to be called "browser". Well as always the cool things do not apply to ie (in this case ie9).
I tried the following:
@font-face { font-family: Roboto; src: url('../fonts/roboto/Roboto-Regular.ttf');}
after some hints i found on this on google i tried:
@font-face { font-family: Roboto; src: url('../fonts/roboto/Roboto-Regular.ttf');
src: url('../fonts/roboto/Roboto-Regular.ttf#') format('truetype');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;}
still with no success. Well as i know by experience there will be no "good" solution for this problem but maybe someone found another bad ie hack that gets me out of another ie misery.
You need to add the format .eot in order to be recognized by IE9.
@font-face {
font-family: 'MyWebFont';
src: url('webfont.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('webfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Modern Browsers */
url('webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
url('webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}
source
You should look at Squirrel
It let you convert a font that you upload with the right codes etcetc..
Works great!
Aswell put ?#iefix behind the second src: url, see this link for a right code: Question from "kraftwer1"
Just serve the font from Google Fonts - click 'Open in Google Fonts' in the top right of that page, select your options, and copy/paste the generated output at the end. Saves you bandwidth and headaches, it'll just work.
To just use the Regular size, c/p this in the <head>
of your page:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
Or from your CSS files:
@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto);
Or load it at runtime with Javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
WebFontConfig = {
google: { families: [ 'Roboto::latin' ] }
};
(function() {
var wf = document.createElement('script');
wf.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https' : 'http') +
'://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/webfont/1/webfont.js';
wf.type = 'text/javascript';
wf.async = 'true';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(wf, s);
})(); </script>
the answer to this question suggests that IE9 only supports the format('woff')
have you tried this ?
@font-face works in IE8 but not IE9
