@font-face works in IE but not in FF

UPDATE:

I added a font folder to the theme directory and then pointed the @font-face to that using a relative path. It works! Still curious as to why it does not work with the absolute path to the original font location…

oh, here you are – this helped me out by the way – thx

this finally worked – I couldn’t get any difference from using relative links in firefox – I found this code on someone’s site, but don’t have the link sorry – but it does work. I use a number of different fontfaces from this same neue family all generated at font squirrel – so I needed to replicate this snippet for each one.

fyi when I was using php pages without wordpress the absoulute link worked fine for firefox.

anyway,

@font-face { /* for non-IE */
font-family:HelveticaNeueLT25UltLightRegu;
src:url(https://:/) format(“No-IE-404”),url(neue/helvetica_lt_25_ultra_light-webfont.ttf) format(“truetype”);
}

I’ve actually only tested this in the latest ff, chrome and ie – haven’t even installed safari / opera yet – just got a new puter last week at the same time I was changing over to wp. cheers, hope this works for someone,. B

I solved the problem by sending the right HTTP Header… if you guys are interested, here’s the blog post.
