I have added a custom font to my wordpress based website.
the theme has the font files within it.
so far in testing the new font works in chrome, IE and safari but not in firefox.
Ive tried playing about with my css files but no luck
any ideas why?
i think the problem is that Internet Explorer accepts only EOT fonts, while Firefox supports only OTF and TTF fonts, and so on.
plz try to insert all this king of font extentions
i hope this help you.
Here it is a useful tool for having every extension for your fonts: font2web.com

I am using Font Awesome on my site and it works fine on Chrome, Firefox etc.
But not working in Internet Explorer. Can anyone tell me why this issue arises in Internet Explorer?
Please provide me solution for the same.
Thanks in Advance...
This is a font-size issue may be you not declared font-size inside the css that's why IE not refect your font awesome try by declaring font-size. I hope your issue resolved.
I am getting a
CSS3120: No fonts available for #font-face rule
for the new Microsoft Edge browser on windows 10.
The fonts I am using are from fonts.com and have the normal declarations that I would expect (e.g. woff, ttf, svg etc).
{
font-family:"myfont";
src:url("/dv2/2/asdf.eot?asdf#iefix");
src:url("/dv2/2/asdf.eot?asdf#iefix") format("eot"),url("/dv2/14/asdf.woff2?asdf") format("woff2"),url("/dv2/3/asdf.woff?asdf") format("woff"),url("/dv2/1/asdf.ttf?asdf") format("truetype"),url("/dv2/11/asdf.svg?asdf") format("svg");
}
The sites still work normally on chrome, firefox, and IE for windows 10. my fonts that I used from Icomoon that are on my domain and fonts from google fonts seem to work fine on the edge browser. Anybody else having this problem with fonts.com?
I was using a local version of Google Fonts like one of the commenters, #benoror. My issue ended up being that I used references to woff2 fonts. Edge doesn't support the woff2 format yet.
My solution was to switch back to loading the fonts from Google Fonts since they have logic based on the user-agent that determines which font files get referenced in the #font-face declarations.
Another option would have been to use regular woff instead of woff2: http://caniuse.com/#search=woff
I contacted fonts.com and the solution they gave - which did seem to work for me - was to republish the project. If you go into manage webfonts and to the project, there is a republish button. It will probably take a couple minutes and then it should work.
I had the same issue,
After reading MSDN documentation and adding local parameter error disappeared.
src:url(sURL) format(fontFormat) local(fontName)
I am using font-face, and the fonts AntennaCond and Roboto. these two fonts are working in Safari and chrome, but they are crashing in Firefox.
Here is my website: http://www.ux-pm.com
Any idea why this is happening?
You need to check path of fonts in css file also you need different types (.ttf, .woff, .eot, .svg) of fonts to render across browsers.
1) websites like http://www.font2web.com/ or http://www.fontsquirrel.com/tools/webfont-generator where you can upload font and it will give you ready made folder structure with css and custom fonts applied.
2) Reference similar question.
Hope this helps.
Does any one know why some of my font families won't render on some mobile devices? Here's a page that demonstrates the fonts:
http://jl.evermight.com/font/
The fonts render properly on desktop chrome browser, ipad and iphone.
But when i view that page on my galaxy note, the Have A Nice Day font renders as something that looks like arial. On my friends nexus 4, Have a nice day works fine, but the universe condense renders as something that looks like arial.
Does anyone know why?
I've attached screenshot of what the fonts should look like
Additional notes
some people claim Have a nice day is not working in Firefox or IE10. For me, the font works on Firefox. I don't have IE10, so unable to verify.
How do I make this font work on my android?
Additional Notes
I had a typing mistake in my link path to my css files. I've corrected it now. But the problem still appears in my droid browser.
Just tried out the link on my phone - HTC 8s, everything seemed to work fine. Below is the screenshot for the same.

ON IE 10
It's possible it's a downloading issue. The fonts listed in your declaration should work across most browsers (just make sure you're not in Opera Mini, it doesn't really support much of anything).
Additionally, Have a Nice Day is loaded through #font-face declarations in the CSS file, but the others appear to be loaded from the JavaScript, which might be part of the issue. Droid Sans is on Android phones by default, so they're likely just pulling them locally, which is why they work across the board on Android. From there, it might be a difference of JavaScript support (if Universe doesn't work, JS isn't turned on, for example).
Another thing that might help is opening up developer tools in a desktop browser that isn't working (in the case of Firefox, you'll want to pick up the Firebug extension). Check the "Net" or "Network" tab and see if your font files are getting downloaded.
If that still doesn't work, try playing around with the order of the font files in the declaration. I've seen browsers take issue with the order.
Also, the Droid Serif fonts are available from Google Web Fonts, which works cross browser with little headache. It might be worth seeing if your other fonts (or something close) are there, too, and just use Google's Web Font Loader to load your fonts.
The problem has been fixed. Apparently there was a bug on myfonts.com that corrupted my font files. I contacted myfonts.com and they corrected the issue right away. Then re-sent me the font files. Now everything works perfectly.
The guys at myfonts.com are amazing. Very good customer + tech support services.
Below is a link to how I do my #fontfaces for cross browser compatibility.

i want to add pretty fonts to my Bootstrap site. i'm a programmer, not a designer.
I googled around and ended up at Google Webfonts website. Google's own font browser does not work (all the fonts default to a serif or something) for any of my browsers (OSX Chrome, OSX Safari, Win7 Chrome, Win7 IE9), all the fonts show up the same.
why doesn't google's webfont broswer work for me? http://www.google.com/webfonts
how can i trust them to work for everyone else
what is the bulletproof way to use custom
fonts?
to i have to buy them and host them myself? is this a bad idea?
Web fonts are fonts that have been licensed specifically for web-use. Besides Google Webfonts, there are other font sites that offer free (and legal) fonts for use on the web like Font Squirrel (free), and Typekit (mostly a paid service). Font Squirrel has a lot of fonts with #face kits that can help end the "browser blues", and make it easy to host the fonts on your own server (my preference).
There's a good article on A List Apart that will help you a bunch - have a read
BTW - it's a violation of your font license to take a font from your computer and run it through a true-type converter (for use on the web)...unless you've purchased/established licensing for web-use via the font provider/manufacturer/creator, etc.
But i used them a couple of times so thought of sharing with you guys. I am just answering for How to use them?
For ex:
When you use a particular web font Archivo then you need to include its style sheet as follows
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Archivo+Narrow' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
In other way you need to install the fonts API so that you dont need to make a online request every single time.
They should be supported by most of the modern browsers.
Can't guess the reason for the first question.
Google web-fonts will work with every browser and I'm sure it is working. There are some issues.
** Fonts will be not smooth or fonts will be jugged in some browsers such as IE. Also fonts are not clear some times (Some fonts). You have to use CSS shadows ..etc to fix this.
You can use your own web-fonts. Download font and convert it to .ttf, .svg, .eot and .woff and call them in CSS with #font-face
You don't have to buy them if you are using like above example. But you will have to buy the font if it is commercial.
** You can use cufon.js too.
