Hi Jackel159!

Yeah, I tested all my code on my desktop... should have tried it live before posting about it =/

I've uploaded the font kit to my drop box files and set it up on my test site 4 and the font's show up fine in Chrome and IE7 & IE8, but not Firefox or IE9. I'm guessing there is still a problem with the font syntax. There is a great article by Paul Irish about @font-face which has other formats to try... I'll dig into this more.

*sigh*

I just found this quote:

Fonts not loading in IE9

IE9, like Firefox, requires that fonts be served from the same domain as the website. Make sure that is the case.

And yes, I was just posting the format that font squirrel or Google uses, I guess we may be stuck using Google's fonts for Firefox & IE9 (guess I'll need to test that and make sure it works as well).

I also found this post on a workaround (the second part with base64 encoding is what we could do):

Hosting the fonts on a different domain? Firefox requires some extra effort; you'll need to add the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, whitelisting the domain you're pulling the asset from. Example .htaccess config here. Alternatively, you can use the base64 encoding in CSS (create it with the fontsquirrel generator) to avoid setting headers. details here

Wel, I tried the above method to encode the font, but Font Squirrel doesn't allow converting fonts you downloaded from their site... odd o.O

Yay! I found an article regarding the access control header with firefox 3.5 by default all content including fonts has to be loaded locally, but if you want to specify absolute links or other domains hosting the fonts you have to make use of Cross-site http requests... read this article for more on it.

https://developer.mozilla.org/En/HTTP_Access_Control

This way you can load the fonts correctly without encoding in 64 and cluttering the css up. 

This second link might make more sense:

Does guildportal have certain css functions blocked or something for it to not work? prob for security huh

Thats great news! 

Doesn't that HTTP Access Control scrip fix that issue for firefox though? 

I think firefox just does this as a security feature to prevent ppl from stealing code or resources remotely. The script "if im correct" shows the host what domain is requesting the information and what information it wants then if the site accepts it, the browser will load the resources from the external domain correctly since it left a fingerprint in case the people want to track whats going on.

At least thats what I think is going on from reading the code and using common sense.

I think IE9 should just use the normal css3 way of loading fonts with eot format?
