DIN webfont in Firefox and IE not working - css

I'm having problems with implementing the DIN font in Firefox and MSIE. It works fine in Chrome.
Here's the import code:
#font-face {
font-family: DINweb;
src: url('/wp-content/themes/quickstep-child/DINWeb.eot');
src: url('/wp-content/themes/quickstep-child/DINWeb.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('/wp-content/themes/quickstep-child/DINWeb.woff') format('woff'),
url('/wp-content/themes/quickstep-child/DINWeb.ttf') format('truetype');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
The font is being called like this in CSS:
font-family: DINWeb, sans-serif!important;
The website is www.andvordgrafisk.no

This syntax is working for me:
#font-face {
font-family: 'DIN_Medium';
src: url('../fonts/DIN_Medium.eot'); /* IE9 Compatibility Modes */
src: url('../fonts/DIN_Medium.eot?') format('eot'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('../fonts/DIN_Medium.otf') format('otf'),
url('../fonts/DIN_Medium.ttf') format('truetype'); /* Safari, Android, iOS */
}
If you don't have the extension, you can generate them here http://www.freefontconverter.com/

The Firefox console shows error messages that say, both for the .woff resource and the .ttf resource, “downloadable font: download failed [...] bad URI or cross-site access not allowed”. The Firebug console says: “NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://www.andvordgrafisk.no/wp-content/themes/quickstep-child/DINWeb.ttf”, but only for the .ttf file.
Oddly enough, it seems that if you remove url('/wp-content/themes/quickstep-child/DINWeb.ttf') format('truetype'), Firefox starts using the font. So it’s as if the nonexistent .ttf is the problem, even though Firefox should not even fetch it (as the .woff resource is mentioned first).

Custom font declaration doesn't work

I'm using the following code in my css:
#font-face {
font-family: "rsfont";
src: url("rsfont.ttf");
}
body {
font-family: 'rsfont';
}
I have a rsfont.ttf file in the same folder as my css file, but it just doesn't work. Why?
.ttf font works in Safari, Android, iOS. To make the font work in all browsers you need to make more font formats using a fontface generator. You can use the one on fontsquirrel
Your final #fontface declarations should be something like this to work in all browsers supporting the #fontface
#font-face {
font-family: 'rsfont';
src: url('rsfont.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('rsfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('rsfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Modern Browsers */
url('rsfont.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
url('rsfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}
You could try to change it to the following
#font-face {
font-family: "rsfont";
src: url('rsfont.ttf') format('truetype');
}
However, not all browsers support the same filetypes! You'd need to convert it to multiple files using something like FontSquirrel. You can check a compatibility matrix here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/#font-face
You need to specify a format and for full cross browser support you should add a woff and eot. The following code will support all browsers (as long as you have the right font files)
For all modern browsers you really only need an eot and woof file.
#font-face{
font-family:rsfont;
src:url(rsfont.eot);
src:url(rsfont.eot) format("embedded-opentype"),
url(rsfont.woff) format("woff"),
url(rsfont.ttf) format("truetype")
font-weight:400;
font-style:normal
}

Are .eot fonts supported via #font-face datauri on IE8?

Are .eot fonts supported via #font-face datauri on IE8?
Are datauris on IE8 supported only for images?
I know about the 32KB limitation. My base64 representation of the .eot font does not exceed this limit.
My css declaration goes something like this:
#font-face {
font-family: 'MyFont';
src: url(data:font/opentype;base64,B1QAAB9TAAACAAI.....);
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
Data URIs should not be any issue for this...
...It should work, I have my .eot web font that works in all browsers (even IE7) by using this...but I also use WOFF/TTF/SVG also to support the rest of the browsers
#font-face {font-family: 'AllyourBase';
src: url('/fonts/allyourbase.eot');
src: url('/fonts/allyourbase.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('/fonts/allyourbase.woff') format('woff'),
url('/fonts/allyourbase.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('/fonts/allyourbase.svg?#allyourbase') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
Make sure IIS has the correct mime type on your local/web server (EX: application/vnd.ms-fontobject for .eot files).
Lastly....I doubt Datauri is the cause but to play it safe try without data/base64 and see if it does anything

ie9 webfonts not loading

I've tried all the other solutions provided here and elsewhere and I'm still having issues with webfonts loading in ie9.
Implemented the fix to the .htaccess file:
<FilesMatch "\.(ttf|otf|eot|woff)$">
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
</IfModule>
</FilesMatch>
Not receiving any css3 error messages in ie developer console.
Thing is when the initial page loads, the fonts don't load but when I navigate to any other page on the site, the fonts then load. If I go back to the initial page the fonts will now load too.
Feel like I've tried everything I was able to find on the web.
Heres my css:
/** FONTS **/
#font-face {
font-family: 'UniversUltraCondensedRegular';
src: url('../fonts/univers-ultracondensed-webfont.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('../fonts/univers-ultracondensed-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('../fonts/univers-ultracondensed-webfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Modern Browsers */
url('../fonts/univers-ultracondensed-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
url('../fonts/univers-ultracondensed-webfont.svg#UniversUltraCondensedRegular') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'WebSymbolsRegular';
src: url('../fonts/websymbols-regular-webfont.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('../fonts/websymbols-regular-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded- opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('../fonts/websymbols-regular-webfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Modern Browsers */
url('../fonts/websymbols-regular-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
url('../fonts/websymbols-regular-webfont.svg#WebSymbolsRegular') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
Here's the link to the site!

TRY USING AN ABSOLUTE URL
#font-face { font-family: 'UniversUltraCondensedRegular'; src: url('../fonts/univers-ultracondensed-webfont.eot');
becomes
#font-face { font-family: 'UniversUltraCondensedRegular'; src: url('http://www.yourdomain.com/fonts/univers-ultracondensed-webfont.eot');
In theory, the CSS you provided should work. Most likely, your problem is caused either by using the wrong paths or by having the wrong file permissions for your font files.
How to tackle this issue :
First, test whether everything works correctly if you use absolute paths (as zaba suggested).
If that does work, it means your paths are incorrect. In that case, make sure the path is relative to the CSS file that contains the #font-face statement.
If that doesn't work, then your issue is probably not related to the pathname. In that case, check whether the file permissions are OK for your font files and the folder it's in.

Font-face font quality issue( Firefox, Chrome, Opera)

Check the site:

I'm using font-face:
#font-face {
font-family: 'SegoeUI';
src: url('{site_url}themes/site_themes/agile_records/fonts/segoeui.eot?') format('eot'),
url('{site_url}themes/site_themes/agile_records/fonts/segoeui.woff') format('woff'),
url('{site_url}themes/site_themes/agile_records/fonts/segoeui.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('{site_url}themes/site_themes/agile_records/fonts/segoeui.svg#SegoeUI2') format('svg');
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'SegoeUIBold';
src: url('{site_url}themes/site_themes/agile_records/fonts/segoeuib.eot?') format('eot'),
url('{site_url}themes/site_themes/agile_records/fonts/segoeuib.woff') format('woff'),
url('{site_url}themes/site_themes/agile_records/fonts/segoeuib.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('{site_url}themes/site_themes/agile_records/fonts/segoeuib.svg#SegoeUI3') format('svg');
font-style: normal;
font-weight: bold;
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'SegoeUIItalic';
src: url('{site_url}themes/site_themes/agile_records/fonts/segoeuii.eot?') format('eot'),
url('{site_url}themes/site_themes/agile_records/fonts/segoeuii.woff') format('woff'),
url('{site_url}themes/site_themes/agile_records/fonts/segoeuii.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('{site_url}themes/site_themes/agile_records/fonts/segoeuii.svg#SegoeUI4') format('svg');
font-style: italic;
font-weight: normal;
}
And there is the problem with output in Firefox, Chrome and Opera browsers. Everything looks OK on IE. Font looks sharp. Why does it happens? Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
different browsers render fonts differently.
The solution I've used in the past is to re-arrange the order in which the fonts are supplied to the font face, based on which browser is rendering the page. Usually my problems are in the earlier versions of IE so I've used a separate style sheet that offered the .woff file before the ttf file. Because some browsers can only read certain font type files but can read both and stop looking after finding one that works. If you re-arrange them you may be able to use one that renders a bit better.
If you end up using separate css you can use the $_SERVER arrays http_user_agent property to set a font css based on the browser.
googles Droid font is a font that renders funny sometimes depending on the browser as well so researching that might help you find other approaches.
It seems that there are a few tricks in ordering properly each format
See for example
This is the Fontspring bulletproof syntax modified to serve the svg
first:
#font-face {
font-family: ‘MyWebFont’;
src: url(‘webfont.eot’);
src: url(‘webfont.eot?#iefix’) format(‘embedded-opentype’),
url(‘webfont.svg#svgFontName’) format(‘svg’),
url(‘webfont.woff’) format(‘woff’),
url(‘webfont.ttf’) format(‘truetype’);
}
From http://www.fontspring.com/blog/smoother-web-font-rendering-chrome
You may also take care of using the proper mime type for WOFF font , as of http://www.w3.org/TR/WOFF/#appendix-b
application/font-woff
to ensure proper handling by the browser

What is wrong with these #font-face fonts in IE9?

For some reason, when I view this page in IE9, all of the #font-face fonts look way smaller than they should, and maybe like a different typeface too. As far as I can tell, everything about my syntax should be cooperating with IE9. Others have had trouble replicating the issue, so maybe it is something in my Windows font settings? Either way, if you want to try to replicate what I am seeing, I am running IE9 on Windows 7 64bit.
EDIT: I'm not sure if this is a problem with the page, or a problem with my browser. Either way, I need to get it fixed.
Looks the same for me in IE9 as other browsers, none are using the embedded font due to its different name (HelveticaMD vs the actual name in use in the CSS, Helvetica.)
It looks like your “wrong” screenshot is of a browser trying to actually use the embedded font, whereas the “right” screenshot is just the default font. If that's what you want, just get rid of the font embedding stuff.
#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 */
}
Usage Example:
#font-face {
font-family: MyFont;
src: url(http://mysite/fonts/MyFont.ttf)
format("embedded-opentype");
}
p {font-family: MyFont, serif;
}
.woff solves the problem in IE9. I've used .eot for chrome & firefox. And .woff for IE9. Now the 3 browsers are working fine and showing the same results. Following is the code in CSS. #font-face {font-family: 'cert_fonts'; src: url('../fonts/GoudyTrajan.eot') format('eot'); src: url('../fonts/GoudyTrajan.woff') format('woff'); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;}
