Having trouble getting your webfonts to load in your new website? Here are some tips to sort out what might be the problem.
Fonts not showing in any browser
This sounds like you need to work on the plumbing. You either did not upload the fonts to the correct directory, or you did not link the fonts properly in the CSS. If you've confirmed that all this is correct and you still have a problem, take a look at your .htaccess file and see if requests are getting intercepted.
Fonts not loading in iPhone or iPad
The most common problem here is that you are serving the fonts from an IIS server. IIS refuses to serve files that have unknown MIME types. If that is the case, you must set the MIME type for SVG to image/svg+xml in the server settings. Follow these instructions from Microsoft if you need help.
Fonts not loading in Firefox
The primary reason for this failure? You are still using a version Firefox older than 3.5. So upgrade already! If that isn't it, then you are very likely serving fonts from a different domain. Firefox requires that all font assets be served from the same domain. Lastly it is possible that you need to add WOFF to your list of MIME types (if you are serving via IIS.)
Fonts not loading in IE
Are you looking at Internet Explorer on an actual Windows machine or are you cheating by using a service like Adobe BrowserLab? Many of these screenshot services do not render @font-face for IE. Best to test it on a real machine.
Fonts not loading in IE9
IE9, like Firefox, requires that fonts be served from the same domain as the website. Make sure that is the case.
