I'ver tried to embed a font with css @font-face. And i want use it as a bold font. But IE 9 doesn't display the font bold.
CSS
@font-face {
font-family: Dauphin;
src: url('dauphin.woff'),
url('dauphin.ttf'),
url('dauphin.eot'),
url('dauphin.svg')
; /* IE9 */
font-weight: normal;
}
.p {
font-family: Dauphin;
font-weight: 900;
}
IE doesn't support using a different font-weight
than was specified in a @font-face
rule.
A set of font files for each font variant
Typically, an embedded font file contains a version of the font with only one weight and one style. When multiple font variants are needed, a different set of embedded font files is used for each font variant. In the example below, only the .woff
format is used, to simplify things. In practice, .eot
, .ttf
, and .svg
will typically be used as well.
@font-face {
font-family: 'myFont';
src: url('myFont.woff');
font-weight: normal;
}
@font-face {
font-family: 'myFont';
src: url('myFontBold.woff');
font-weight: bold;
}
...
p {
font-family: myFont;
font-weight: normal;
}
h2 {
font-family: myFont;
font-weight: bold;
}
Supporting IE8
However, IE8 has display issues when more than 1 weight, or more than 4 weights or styles, is associated with a font-family. To support IE8, use a different font-family for each font variant.
@font-face {
font-family: 'myFont';
src: url('myFont.woff');
}
@font-face {
font-family: 'myFont-bold';
src: url('myFontBold.woff');
}
...
p {
font-family: myFont;
}
h2 {
font-family: myFont-bold;
}
Maximum cross-browser support
For the optimal amount of cross-browser support, use the following syntax:
@font-face {
font-family: 'myFont';
src: url('myFont.eot');
src: url('myFont.eot?#iefix')
format('embedded-opentype'),
url('myFont.woff') format('woff'),
url('myFont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('myFont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg');
}
@font-face {
font-family: 'myFont-bold';
src: url('myFontBold.eot');
src: url('myFontBold.eot?#iefix')
format('embedded-opentype'),
url('myFontBold.woff') format('woff'),
url('myFontBold.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('myFontBold.svg#svgFontName') format('svg');
}
...
p {
font-family: myFont;
}
h2 {
font-family: myFont-bold;
}
