I have tried reading multiple articles on how to deal with custom fonts in IE, but they never seemed to work for me. I tried converting the fonts to EOT
, but that didn't seem to work either. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, so I will post my code
@font-face {
font-family: "Klavika Regular";
src: url('../fonts/klavika.eot');
src: local('☺'), url('../fonts/klavika.woff') format('woff'), url('../fonts/klavika.ttf') format('truetype'), url('../fonts/klavika.svg') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
this works in ie8/9

@font-face {
font-family: 'AftaserifRegular';
src: url('AftaSerifThin-Regular-webfont.eot');
src: url('AftaSerifThin-Regular-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('AftaSerifThin-Regular-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('AftaSerifThin-Regular-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('AftaSerifThin-Regular-webfont.svg#AftaserifRegular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
if IE8 thinks it supports any other format other than eot
of the ones listed below, then it will probably try to use that one. Maybe you could use a IE8 hack, like
src: local('☺'), url('../fonts/klavika.woff') format('woff'), url('../fonts/klavika.ttf') format('truetype'), url('../fonts/klavika.svg') format('svg');
src /*\**/: url('../fonts/klavika.eot')\9
so only IE8 will read the last src
line and thus load the .eot.
Try three kinds of CSS Formats for @font-face on FontSquirrel Generator (in "EXPERT..." mode > in section "CSS Formats:" > "more information")
It's worth checking to see if your .htaccess file allows the file type.
