    @dida Do you have a license to use Tahoma with @font-face? As far as I’m aware, you cannot. And just because it may be preinstalled on your computer does not allow you to do so. Always check the license information.

    Get it here:
    http://www.fonts.com/font/microsoft-corporation/tahoma/multilingual-regular/web-font

    Note: This does not include bold or italic sets. You have to purchase them separately.

    @dida Like I stated above, you cannot use Tahoma on your website with @font-face since it is against the EULA of the desktop version. Meaning, you are not allowed to take your desktop version of Tahoma and convert it into webfont files. You have to purchase the webfont version of Tahoma which gives you a valid license.

    If you’re having issues seeing the font on your machine, you can download the font for Windows. On Macs, people have posted issues with it being disabled which you can fix by a simple google search.

    Does that solve your issue?

    What was the solution? I still have this problem with an icon font.
    See: http://goo.gl/W9ecd

    Embeded like:

    @font-face {
    font-family: ‘keeebicons’;
    src:url(‘fonts/keeebicons.eot’);
    src:url(‘fonts/keeebicons.eot#iefix’) format(’embedded-opentype’),
    url(‘fonts/keeebicons.svg#keeebicons’) format(‘svg’),
    url(‘fonts/keeebicons.woff’) format(‘woff’),
    url(‘fonts/keeebicons.ttf’) format(‘truetype’);
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
    }

    @ntry, where you able to solve this? I’m having the same issue. Fonts on firefox are being rendered bolder.

    Happy to report that Firefox has added vendor prefixed support for more standard looking fonts:

    -moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;

    See the discussion around this new property on bugzilla.
