@font-face doesn’t work

This article has some very helpful information regarding @font-face, and compatibility issues … just in case.

Here are some potential improvements in your @font-face section:

  • One of your src entries lists “local”. Try removing that.
  • Try using explicit addressing for your files.
  • Make sure you can actually open your font files, or at least do not get a 404 Error.
  • Try listing your files as I have, with two src entries: one for IE and one for modern browsers.
  • See if your font files provide a TTF file for Safari and mobile browsers.

`

@font-face {    font-family: 'newBaskerville';
    src: url('https://{your-domain}.com/wp-content/uploads/useanyfont/190811081519New-Baskerville.eot');
    src: url('https://{your-domain}.com/wp-content/uploads/useanyfont/190811081519New-Baskerville.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
    url('https://{your-domain}.com/wp-content/uploads/useanyfont/190811081519New-Baskerville.woff') format('woff'); 
}

Finally, apply the font to your body with fallback styles, like you have in your Courier example above:

body{ font-family: "newBaskerville", Courier, monospace; }

note: Be sure to use the same name when applying the name as you did when defining it. In my case “newBaskerville”, to avoid any issues with spaces and/or punctuation.
