Screenshot showing true styles
This how it looks after I disabled the @font-face rule. The problem is that the
@font-face rule looks like this
@font-face {
font-family: 'Amiri';
src: url('…');
src: local('Amiri'),
url('…') format('woff'),
url('…') format('truetype');
font-style: normal;
}
Thus only the normal style is made available, compare this with the CSS snippet
provided with Amiri tarball, which makes all four styles available:
@font-face {
font-family: AmiriWeb;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: url('amiri-regular.eot?') format('eot'),
url('amiri-regular.woff') format('woff'),
url('amiri-regular.ttf') format('truetype');
}
@font-face {
font-family: Amiri QuranWeb;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: url('amiri-quran.eot?') format('eot'),
url('amiri-quran.woff') format('woff'),
url('amiri-quran.ttf') format('truetype');
}
@font-face {
font-family: AmiriWeb;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 700;
src: url('amiri-bold.eot?') format('eot'),
url('amiri-bold.woff') format('woff'),
url('amiri-bold.ttf') format('truetype');
}
@font-face {
font-family: AmiriWeb;
font-style: oblique;
font-weight: 400;
src: url('amiri-slanted.eot?') format('eot'),
url('amiri-slanted.woff') format('woff'),
url('amiri-slanted.ttf') format('truetype');
}
@font-face {
font-family: AmiriWeb;
font-style: oblique;
font-weight: 700;
src: url('amiri-boldslanted.eot?') format('eot'),
url('amiri-boldslanted.woff') format('woff'),
url('amiri-boldslanted.ttf') format('truetype');
}
I also recommend using this syntax over what is used now, see:
http://www.fontspring.com/blog/the-new-bulletproof-font-face-syntax
(but probably should keep 'src: local('Amiri')', so local font is used if
available).
