Web Font viewing in IE

Freeway
1

Hi All

Just completed a new site and just checking line breaks etc in IE and noted that the font I have used for the headings (non html) as a web font is displaying in IE as the default helvetica and not as the actual font.

Works fine in Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

Is this normal for IE?

What IE?
What site?
How are the headings created?
Why use ‘IE’ and ‘normal’ in the same sentence?

Hi
Not sure which version of IE, I am just checking the site in as many browsers as possbile.
Using daughters PC lap top.

Font converted to an html font and added through web font in freeway.

Should they view as created in IE or does IE not have the compatibility for this?

Not quite sure which method you used to set up your web fonts but this is the code I see

@font-face {
font-family: Open Sans Light;
src:url("Resources/opensans-light-webfont.eot"); 
src:local("Open Sans Light"), url("Resources/opensans-light-webfont.ttf");
}

If I am doing this then I use the following code which has more font options

@font-face {
    font-family: 'geosanslightregular';
    src: url('http://www.deltadesign.co/_webfonts/geosanslight-webfont-webfont.eot');
    src: url('http://www.deltadesign.co/_webfonts/geosanslight-webfont-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
         url('http://www.deltadesign.co/_webfonts/geosanslight-webfont-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
         url('http://www.deltadesign.co/_webfonts/geosanslight-webfont-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
         url('http://www.deltadesign.co/_webfonts/geosanslight-webfont-webfont.svg#geosanslightregular') format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
}

Hi Dave

Thanks for the reply - how do I edit the code in Freeway though?

That depends on how you added the font-face stuff.

Have a look at Paul’s Caxton action if you are not using it.
