IE 10 does not display some of the same sets from previous I

Post by wenca66 »

Hi all,
1) My English is very poor. I am sorry.
2) Joomla 2.5.xx + Phoca Font 2.0.2
3) I have few years few web-joomla-project with font set which I have created the same process and tools
4) Fonts was O.K. in FF, Chrome, IE (7,8,9) - but in IE 10 the fonts don’t displayed.
5) Examples of these projects (with Phoca Fonts):


6) When I used original set "com_phocafont_bpreplay.zip" in my templates, font BPreplay browsers displayed correctly (IE 10.0.9200.16635, FF22, Chrome 28.0.1500.95 m). Where is an mistake?

7) Question / Idea: I think that the problem is in the file (eot, otf) structure - in generator font files. What tool you use to generate your font sets (tested and properly displayed in IE 7,8,9,10 and FF, Chrome)

8) Test project: com_phocafont_bpreplay.zip (BPreplay) + my font (DawnCastle)
. In FF,Chrome is OK, but IE10 show only BPreplay!?

Can anyone help me - ideally in Czech ;-)
Thank you - a předem děkuji moc ;-)

Hi,
I am having the same problem about Explorer 10 and 11. It is working in IE9 though. I followed all the steps, have .eot file, add the html (if IE) but it seems that there is still overwriting from my template. I've looked in my template.css but can't see where it is coming from.

The site is mademois-elles.com

Hope you can help me.
Thank you

Hi,

try to check all the possible problems, mostly this does not work because:

- there are no eot data
- there are eot but are not correctly created
- the font does not have right characters (missing e.g. diacritics)
- look at your code, see if the path to the eot is correct
- see if the eot files are stored in your server in right folder
- check settings of IE if there are no limits (e.g. limits to load such fonts)
- etc.

Hi, the file seems to be OK, so the only one question is if the eot is accepted by IE?

I converted fonts ttf to eot using http://www.kirsle.net/wizards/ttf2eot.cgi . I can not upload eot fonts to Fonts manager in Windows 7. Into head of my template I gave:


<!--[if IE]>
<style type="text/css">
@font-face {
font-family: "Champagne_Limousines.eot";
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
font-stretch: normal;
font-stretch: normal;
src: url("/components/com_phocafont/fonts/Champagne_Limousines.eot") ;
}
body, li, h1, h2, p, a { font-family: "Champagne_Limousines.eot", arial, helvetica;

}
</style><![endif]-->



So how to find out if the eot font is accepted by IE?
