What is the modern #font-face declaration? - html

Over the years, I've used the following font-face declaration:
#font-face {
font-family: 'museo_sans_rounded';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 500;
src: url('../fonts/museo/museosansrounded-300-webfont.eot');
src: url('../fonts/museo/museosansrounded-300-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../fonts/museo/museosansrounded-300-webfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('../fonts/museo/museosansrounded-300-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('../fonts/museo/museosansrounded-300-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../fonts/museo/museosansrounded-300-webfont.svg#museo_sans_rounded300') format('svg');
}
Now I just need to support IE11 and all the modern browsers. Can this declaration be simplified?

According to this article on embedding custom fonts using #font-face:
The #font-face rule allows custom fonts to be loaded on a webpage. Once added to a stylesheet, the rule instructs the browser to download the font from where it is hosted, then display it as specified in the CSS.
There are various different levels of browser support for different fonts. The trend seems to be that you can get away with offering WOFF and WOFF2, but this is their recommendation for "deepest possible browser support":
#font-face {
font-family: 'MyWebFont';
src: url('webfont.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('webfont.woff2') format('woff2'), /* Super Modern Browsers */
url('webfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Pretty Modern Browsers */
url('webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
url('webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}
For IE11:
#font-face {
font-family: 'MyWebFont';
src: url('myfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('myfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('myfont.ttf') format('truetype');
}

.eot ==> for IE9 Compat Modes
.eot?#iefix ==> for IE6-IE8
.woff2 ==> for super Modern browser like Chrome, Firefox...
.woff ==> for pretty Modern.. so to speak
.ttf ==> specially for Safari, Android, iOS
.svg#svgFontName ==> just for Legacy iOS

Font-display, not working in a speed insights

I need to optimize my page at work (my first job as web dev) and i can't get rid of font-display error message at speed insights. I've googled, i've read docs, blogs, forums etc. and i think im expert in this topic now however still speed insights doesn't accept it. Why is that? Please send help :)
Problem seems to occur with fontawesome, not with regular fonts, i've dealt with those. I have fonts downloaded offline, im importing them, and importing stylesheet. Code below
#font-face {
font-family: 'fa-brands-400';
src: url('/fontawesome/webfonts/fa-brands-400.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('/fontawesome/webfonts/fa-brands-400.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('/fontawesome/webfonts/fa-brands-400.woff') format('woff'), /* Modern Browsers */
url('/fontawesome/webfonts/fa-brands-400.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
url('/fontawesome/webfonts/fa-brands-400.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
font-display: swap;
font-family: 'fa-regular-400';
src: url('/fontawesome/webfonts/fa-regular-400.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('/fontawesome/webfonts/fa-regular-400.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('/fontawesome/webfonts/fa-regular-400.woff') format('woff'), /* Modern Browsers */
url('/fontawesome/webfonts/fa-regular-400.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
url('/fontawesome/webfonts/fa-regular-400.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
font-display: swap;
font-family: 'fa-solid-900';
src: url('../fontawesome/webfonts/fa-solid-900.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('../fontawesome/webfonts/fa-solid-900.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('../fontawesome/webfonts/fa-solid-900.woff') format('woff'), /* Modern Browsers */
url('../fontawesome/webfonts/fa-solid-900.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
url('../fontawesome/webfonts/fa-solid-900.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
font-display: swap;
}

#font-face IE not working

When I use this on my style tag the font works just fine with FireFox and Google Chrome And Edge :
#font-face {
font-family: 'AlArabiyaRegular';
src :url('template/fonts/ae_AlArabiya.ttf') format('truetype');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
but it's not working on IE so I seareched about it and it's looks like I have to use 'woff' and 'eot' in order to make it work with IE so I used this code :
#font-face {
font-family: 'AlArabiyaRegular';
src: url('template/fonts/ae_AlArabiya.eot');
src: url('template/fonts/ae_AlArabiya.woff') format('woff'),
url('template/fonts/ae_AlArabiya.tff') format('truetype'),
url('template/fonts/ae_AlArabiya.svg#webfontg8dbVmxj') format('svg');
}
but when I change my style to it's not working even on FireFox
Use all the css font family src posibilities:
#font-face {
font-family: 'MyWebFont';
src: url('webfont.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('webfont.woff2') format('woff2'), /* Super Modern Browsers */
url('webfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Pretty Modern Browsers */
url('webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
url('webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}
If a .ttf works in other browsers but not IE, it's usually a sign that the font hasn't got the "installable bit" set. See this thread for more info and fixes.

#font-face doesn't work on some computers

I'm using #font-face in my project for loading a specific webfont ("Amsi Pro"). The main problem is that it works on most of the computers I tested, but not on all (On those where it didn't work other websites with #font-face still worked).
Is there anything I've missed, or any server settings to set that will give me full support?
Some information of a PC where #font-face doesn't work:
whatsmybrowser.org/b/Q2TJ80F
Live Preview:
christlicher-gesundheitskongress.de
CSS:
#font-face {
font-family: 'AmsiPro';
font-weight: 400;
src: url('../webfonts/2E508B_0_0.eot');
src: url('../webfonts/2E508B_0_0.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../webfonts/2E508B_0_0.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('../webfonts/2E508B_0_0.woff') format('woff'),
url('../webfonts/2E508B_0_0.ttf') format('truetype');
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'AmsiPro';
font-weight: 600;
src: url('../webfonts/2E508B_1_0.eot');
src: url('../webfonts/2E508B_1_0.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../webfonts/2E508B_1_0.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('../webfonts/2E508B_1_0.woff') format('woff'),
url('../webfonts/2E508B_1_0.ttf') format('truetype');
}
html,body {
font-family: 'AmsiPro', Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
Even though it seems that Firefox 38 should support #font-face, there may be a partial use issue. Try using an app like Font-Squirrel to develop an SVG of your font and then reorder your #font-face like so:
#font-face {
font-family: 'MyWebFont';
src: url('webfont.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('webfont.woff2') format('woff2'), /* Super Modern Browsers */
url('webfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Pretty Modern Browsers */
url('webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
url('webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}
Per this source, it should maximize the amount of support your font has.
Hope this helped!

CSS #font-face eot ( HelveticaNeueLT Std Thin ) Not working for IE

I have wrote a css for add "HelveticaNeueLT Std Thin" font for my website. But that css doesn't work for IE browers, also that font can't convert to eot via http://www.fontsquirrel.com/tools/webfont-generator
That website gives error "Adobe has requested that their font HelveticaNeueLT Std Thin Regular be blacklisted by the Generator. You will not be able to convert this font."
So I convert this form another website but didn't work,
This is my css, this work for other browers, But IE has problem.
#font-face {
font-family: Helvetica_Thin;
src: url("fonts/HelveticaNeueLTStd-Th_0.otf") format("opentype");

url("fonts/HelveticaNeueLTStd-Th.ttf") format('truetype'),
url("fonts/HelveticaNeueLTStd-Th_new.eot?#iefix") format('embedded-opentype');
}
this is link for download above font http://font2s.com/fonts/50728/helvetica_neue_lt_std_35_thin.html#.VBvpBxYsD3Y
Try to write this format
#font-face {
font-family: 'MyWebFont';

}

Font-face won't load on IE8

I've tried many of the solutions found in other topics but still the font won't load in IE8.
The fonts are converted by FontSquirrel and also the CSS has been generated there. No alternation.
According to the other topics.. it should work now. But.. it does not. Is there any workaround to make it work? Or is it just one of those things i can keep hating ie8 about?
Problem can be seen on this URL: www.kokomogroningen.nl
