Installable font won't load in IE

[Shikkediel]

Although, I think it’s installable. Works in every browser except all versions of IE. Looking at the properties of the .ttf, it should be free to use?

Thing is, my Windows version is in Dutch but I’m thinking ‘bewerkbaar’ means installable (right clicked on the file’s details). But it logs a CSS3114 error. Any insight would be much appreciated.

Hmm that’s weird I’m not seeing ‘bewerkbaar’ anywhere and I’m also on a dutch version of Windows. Which version of Windows are you using?

Edit1: Think I found the ‘bewerkbaar’ you meant. *facepalm* Going to check a bit more!

Edit2: Will check when I get home, got an English version of Windows there might be able to tell you more then! ;)

Thanks in advance. I’m on 32 bit windows 7 (but I see you found it).

I should be home in about an hour so ;)

Can you share us a link to the site where this font won’t load in IE? I doubt it has anything to do with it being bewerkbaar or not — that’s something to do with the file/OS level, not the web server.

Did you use the @font-face method but only load the .TTF format? Did you generate a webfont (using FontSquirrel)?

Hmm the ‘bewerkbaar’ literally just translates into editable, however I googled the error and found a few results that hopefully are helpful.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I think I found (and read) most of these links as well, Tom. It’s not a cross domain issue (as I’m embedding from the same url) and it’s strangely enough not only happening in IE9. I read somewhere the file’s details were the place to check if it’s installable. Can’t find the page again where i read that though.

It’s (obviously) the first time I’m trying to use an @font-face this way. Took the very basic approach (following W3, whistle) :

@font-face {
font-family: Humanist;
src: url(resource/humanist.ttf)
}

body {
font-family: Humanist
}

Also read this thread but didn’t have the other formats. Isn’t ttf cross browser? I’ve put it through FontSquirrel now and will report back on that, posting a live link if it hasn’t been solved. Kinda wondering where to check if the font is eligible for embedding.

Thanks again. :-)

Still curious what’s up with that .ttf installable issue (and a few other things) but it works with a .woff. Thanks for the replies (insights always welcome).
