    So Im having an issue with IE9-10 displaying my websites main body font with mixed sizes/blocks. I’m developing with Twitter Bootstrap and link to custom fonts, and everything on Safari (iOS), Chrome & Firefox look good, but for some reason IE9-10 on Windows 7-8 are acting up of course.

    I can’t really test this, and BrowserStack is really dragging along for debugging purposes.
    Can anyone suggest a solution, please? See [http://ambush.blackbambu.com/](http://ambush.blackbambu.com/ “”) for a live working version.

    I’m not home at the moment but can you take a screenshot on what you’re seeing? Sounds like there’s missing glyphs in the font.

    Its the font in the body paragraph, other fonts looks good.

    Just got home and checked the font. That’s how it was designed. Even so, that’s a display face not a text face. Meaning, that shouldn’t be used for your body copy. None of the webfonts on that site should be used, in my opinion. There’s major legibility and readability issues here.

    Yeah it looked great on chrome when I first tried it out, guess I’ll switch back to usual font family of ‘Droid Sans’, thanks for the advice.

    Droid Sans was designed for mobile and is a bit narrow. I’d go with something other than that (preferably not Google Web Fonts).

    font-family: “Helvetica Neue”, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

    should be more friendly?
