The developer behind the FontSquirel @font-face generator did come up with a new syntax for @font-face, one that is cleaner while avoiding the 404 errors that can happen due to bugs in IE < 9. http://www.fontspring.com/blog/the-new-bulletproof-font-face-syntax
What Is not clear to me, atm, is if IE 9 uses the .eot font with this technique, or if it uses the .woff file. I made a quick test page: if it uses the eot file, the text snippet will display in a condensed sans-serif face, otherwise the text snippet should display with a serif face (same as Firefox, Chrome or Safari). test url: http://dev.l-c-n.com/_temp/font_eot_woff.html Can anyone test with IE 9 (preferred: the recently released IE 9 RC) ? (I can't test, no suitable OS available…) Philippe -- Philippe Wittenbergh http://l-c-n.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
