Rendered Font is different than Font Family - html

I have a DIN Regular True Type Font which I import and declare like this:
#font-face {
font-family: 'DINRegular';
src: url('../fonts/DINBek-Regular.ttf') format('truetype'),
}
body {
font-family: 'DINRegular', Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;
}
However, I have an accordion in my site that always comes back Times New Roman. The Font Family in the code inspector is "DINRegular", but the rendered font on the "Computed" tab says the font is Times New Roman. Any ideas how to fix?

there is a comma after format('truetype') - deleted and add a semi colon
format('truetype');
also remove the quotes from the font family declaration in body so it's
font-family: DINRegular, Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;
also, if your browser doesn't support .ttf here's an example of a fuller font declaration:
#font-face {
font-family: 'myfont';
src: url('myfont.eot');
src: url('myfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('myfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('myfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('myfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('myfont.svg#myfont') format('svg');
}
after adding the other formats

You're only defining a .ttf font, you need to define other formats like .woff .eot and .otf. You can generate these types by using your .ttf font through through Font Squirrel Webfont generator.
One thing to make sure is that you have the proper license for the font you're trying to use online.

Custom fonts not displayed in Internet Explorer

My website uses custom fonts. They work on all browsers, except Internet Explorer (version 11.0.9600).
The CSS code:
#font-face {
font-family: 'almoni-dl';
font-weight: 700; /*(bold)*/
font-style: normal;
src: url('https://assets.mywebsite.com/fonts/almoni-dl-aaa-700.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('https://assets.mywebsite.com/fonts/almoni-dl-aaa-700.woff') format('woff'),
url('https://assets.mywebsite.com/fonts/almoni-dl-aaa-700.ttf') format('truetype');
}
html {
font-family: 'almoni-dl','Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;
}
What I've tried so far:
The fonts use an absolute path to a sub-domain. The response for these fonts includes the header Access-Control-Allow-Origin:*. I also tried using a relative path, no luck.
The fonts themselves are downloaded correctly, returning code 200.
Cache was cleared several times.
The fonts' Content-Types are: woff = application/font-woff; ttf = application/octet-stream; eot = application/vnd.ms-fontobject.
Other websites (such as www.newyorker.com) display custom fonts correctly on the same browser.
I also tried the following syntax:
#font-face {
font-family: 'almoni-dl';
font-weight: 700; /*(bold)*/
font-style: normal;
src: url('https://assets.kalir.co.il/fonts/almoni-dl-aaa-700.eot');
src: url('https://assets.kalir.co.il/fonts/almoni-dl-aaa-700.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('https://assets.kalir.co.il/fonts/almoni-dl-aaa-700.woff') format('woff'),
url('https://assets.kalir.co.il/fonts/almoni-dl-aaa-700.ttf') format('truetype');
}
What else could be wrong?
In the font-family property in css, try typing the actual full name of the font, if that doesn't work, try using the full filename (minus the extension) as the font-family.
IE has known issues finding the font if the font-family name is different than what it expects!

font-family crash with #font-face src

Good day,
I have a css, code is as follow:
#font-face {
font-family: 'dax-regularregular';
src: url('../fonts/daxregular-webfont.eot');
}
body {
font-family: 'dax-regularregular';
}
And, in my html code, I simply code:
<b>this is bold</b> + this is normal
And this is display correctly in chrome, but not in IE (All become normal, not bold).
If I remove the body{} in my css file, then IE will working fine.
If I remove either font-family or src inside #font-face, then IE will working fine.
I do some research on internet, found that .eot file will not support for chrome, that's why chrome wont affected and display correctly. (Not sure my understanding is correct or not)
Kindly advise. And suggest your solution if you have.
** Edit **
#font-face {
font-family: 'dax-regularregular';
src: url('../fonts/daxregular-webfont.eot');
src: url('../fonts/daxregular-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../fonts/daxregular-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('../fonts/daxregular-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../fonts/daxregular-webfont.svg#dax-regularregular') format('svg'),
url('../fonts/daxbold-webfont.eot');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
** Edit version 2 **
This solution can fix IE 9, IE 10, and IE 11 issue. But,
This solution introduce new issue to IE 8, which is , normal word will be bold, and the bold word will become "more bold" ( become fatter ). I saw from internet, IE 8 is not support the #font-face rule with the WOFF format (only support for EOT format). So, i take out those url except eot, but still facing the problem.
I change my css code to as follow, but still same hit issue in IE 8:
#font-face {
font-family: 'dax-regularregular';
src: url('../fonts/daxbold-webfont.eot');
src: url('../fonts/daxbold-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype');
font-weight: bold;
font-style: normal;
}
As your code shows that you have included only .eot format webfont in body in css. The .eot format will work only on IE.
Now since you have added only url('../fonts/daxregular-webfont.eot') [notice 'regular'], the IE browser showing your text in regular or not-in-bold format. So if you want to display your text in-bold format on IE, you would need to add an additional url('../fonts/daxbold-webfont.eot') [notice 'bold'] definition in your css and also the relevant font in your font folder.
Now, why chrome displays it properly? I doubt if chrome would be showing your text in your desired font i.e. dax or .eot. Since you have not defined .woff font in your css (which chrome normally requires), most probably using some other font defined in some other css on your page.
To display your page consistently across all browsers using for custom font you would need to add all fonts definition in your css including adding the same in your font folder -
`#font-face {
font-family: 'dax-regularregular';
src: url('../fonts/daxregular-webfont.eot');
src: url('../fonts/daxregular-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../fonts/daxregular-webfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('../fonts/daxregular-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('../fonts/daxregular-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../fonts/daxregular-webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg');
}`
UPDATE:
First, other then font definition mentioned above you'll also have to add other font formats definitions in your css like
for bold,
#font-face {
font-family: 'dax-bold';
src: url('../fonts/daxbold-webfont.eot');
src: url('../fonts/daxbold-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../fonts/daxbold-webfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('../fonts/daxbold-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('../fonts/daxbold-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../fonts/daxbold-webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg');
}
for semibold,
#font-face {
font-family: 'dax-semibold';
src: url('../fonts/daxsemibold-webfont.eot');
src: url('../fonts/daxsemibold-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../fonts/daxsemibold-webfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('../fonts/daxsemibold-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('../fonts/daxsemibold-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../fonts/daxsemibold-webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg');
}
and so on including relevant fonts in font folder, whichever you need.
Second, for getting these fonts. Not sure but I think your dax font seems a licensed font and not the free one. If yes, then you can convert all above mentioned formats using the ttf / otf font which would have been installed in your system's 'Font' folder. To convert just copy the 'regular' or 'bold' font from that font folder on your desktop and then convert it using website like 'Font Squirrel'
UPDATE 2
The IE needs .eot version web-font only, having .woff won't affect text in any IE version. So don't fear of .woff.
You need to correct your font definition, which is still incorrect in your last post -
for regular or unbold font,
#font-face {
font-family: 'dax-regularregular';
src: url('../fonts/daxregular-webfont.eot');
src: url('../fonts/daxregular-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype');
}
for bold format font,
#font-face {
font-family: 'dax-bold';
src: url('../fonts/daxbold-webfont.eot');
src: url('../fonts/daxbold-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype');
}
Your html should look like this -
<p style="font-family: 'dax-regularregular';"><span style="font-family: 'dax-bold';">bold text lying here</span> unbold text lying here</p>
It should work proper across.
Note: Have shown applying font in inline tag to demonstrate html structure, please use your class for the same.
Try adding different types of fonts and specifying there type as well..
#font-face {
font-family: 'dax-regularregular';
src: url('../fonts/daxregular-webfont.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('../fonts/daxregular-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('../fonts/daxregular-webfont.woff2') format('woff2'), /* Super Modern Browsers */
url('../fonts/daxregular-webfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Pretty Modern Browsers */
url('../fonts/daxregular-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
url('../fonts/daxregular-webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}
Add more font file like
font-family: 'dax-regularregular';
src: url('dax-regularregular.eot');
src: url('dax-regularregular.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('dax-regularregular.woff') format('woff'),
url('dax-regularregular.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('dax-regularregular.svg#open_sansregular') format('svg');

#font face is not working

I am trying to add Futura web font to my webpage but when i add this to a independent css file which named fonts.css
#font-face {
font-family: futura;
src: url('/fonts/Futura LT Bold.ttf')
}
Then i added this to my main css file :
h1{
font-family: futura;
}
But the font does not change when i explore my files with web inspector(firefox) i see that the font family is sat to futura but when i check for the font i get this :
But futura is not like that (serif font) my files hierarchy is like this
Root folder
Page.htm
JS
Java.js
css
fonts.css
style.css
fonts
Futura LT Book.ttf
Futura LT Light.ttf
What might be wrong ?
Update : I use firefox
maybe your font file have a problem and it is not for web.
you can use one of the online convertor like http://www.font2web.com/ to convert the font to all font format files and use css below for your font-face implementation
#font-face {
font-family: 'Conv_FREESCPT';
src: url('fonts/FREESCPT.eot');
src: local('☺'), url('fonts/FREESCPT.woff') format('woff'), url('fonts/FREESCPT.ttf') format('truetype'), url('fonts/FREESCPT.svg') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
try this
replace:
#font-face {
font-family: futura;
src: url('/fonts/Futura LT Bold.ttf')
}
with:
#font-face {
font-family: futura;
src: url("../fonts/Futura LT Bold.ttf")
}
I think you need double period (..) on your src, which means you go up one folder and then look for the folder behind the slash. For example:
src: url('../fonts/Futura LT Bold.ttf')
Another problem could be that your browser might not support . ttf font-files, you need to add .eot.

Font not rendering?

I have the following CSS (generated byn SASS):
#font-face {
font-family: "locust";
src: url(/assets/LOCUST.TTF) format("truetype");
src: url(/assets/LOCUST.svg) format("svg"); }
The path seems accessible - I'm on localhost:3000 and if I can download/see the fonts by typing localhost:3000/assets/LOCUST.TTF, for instance.
Yet Firefox don't render the font:
<h1 style="font-family: locust;">Test</h1>
I'm using Rails, but I don't think the problem is related, since the HTML and CSS generated seems correct to me, and the fonts are accessible. If I knew what I need to generate, most likely I would know how to fix.
Asset URL
Here is code we use:
#app/assets/stylesheets/fonts.css.scss
#font-face {
font-family: 'Lato';
src: asset_url('layout/fonts/lato/lato-hairline-webfont.eot');
src: asset_url('layout/fonts/lato/lato-hairline-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
asset_url('layout/fonts/lato/lato-hairline-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
asset_url('layout/fonts/lato/lato-hairline-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
asset_url('layout/fonts/lato/lato-hairline-webfont.svg#latohairline') format('svg');
font-weight: 100;
font-style: normal;
}
Notice asset_url is used -- this provides a CSS-compatible path to the url (hence why you're not able to access the path)
WebFonts
If you have full rights to use the font, you'd be better using the WebFont generator here: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/tools/webfont-generator
This creates cross-browser webfont files in .tff, .woff, .svg and .eot formats

Custom Fonts not working on webkit browsers

can someone help me with this problem:
I have this font:
#font-face {
font-family: 'Museo500Regular';
src: url('MuseoSans_500-webfont.eot');
src: local('?'),
url('MuseoSans_500-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('MuseoSans_500-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('MuseoSans_500-webfont.svg#webfontr3rD8cn7') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
that is not working on webkit browser and I don't understand why...
O other browsers like, firefox or IE it works just fine but only on webkit is not rendering well.
here you have an example on a test page with a drop down menu, just look at the font on other browsers and google chrome for example.
http://mainpage.ueuo.com/
Thank's.
I have downloaded your MuseoSans_500-webfont.ttf.. looks like its not a valid font... or not uploaded properly on the server... Do upload it again...
Or go to the following link and generate ur font-face css...
http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator
#font-face {
font-family: 'Museo500Regular';
src: url('museosans_500-webfont-webfont.eot');
src: url('museosans_500-webfont-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('museosans_500-webfont-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('museosans_500-webfont-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('museosans_500-webfont-webfont.svg#_.regular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
Your CSS definition for #font-face has a wild } on line 11 (see default.css). This is likely causing you some problems.
Also, please, please, please don't use a table for your layout!
Remove single quotes in font name, do not need for single font, it needs only multiple fonts
font-family: Museo500Regular;
