Hi Sara,
What does your @font look like?
Does athelas not have quotes around it?
I have found that simply adding '' (single quote) in the @font and font-family
helps on IE and FF when using custom fonts.
.menu li::after {
font-family: 'athelas', serif;
font-weight:bold;
font-size: 16px;
content: “◆”;
}
Also are you sure that the eot and woff files have the same metrics as the OT
or TT?
font-squirel is a great resource for creating fonts. Make sure to use a desktop
TrueType font or OpenType to create from.
On their site it allows you to set the metrics to an even setting.
