How to properly render #font-face in Firefox? - html

I am attempting to use #font-face for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and IE. For IE i am not even sure what to do but for the other browsers I want the #font-face part to work.
Here's what I have used:
#font-face {
font-family: "Handwriter";
src: url("/folder/Font-Regular.otf");
}
And then I also tried:
#font-face {
font-family: "Handwriter";
src: url("http://www.domain.com/folder/Font-Regular.otf");
}
Using either of these will render it properly in Chrome and Safari but not in Firefox. The funny thing is that if I use Firebug and go to the CSS file and rewrite the name again then it renders it. In addition, the font file is on my server and I am rending this on the same domain. So not sure what is going wrong here.

try this (with your custom fonts). Remember the format is important:
#font-face {
font-family: 'WebFont';
src: url('myfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Firefox 3.6+, IE9+, Chrome 6+, Safari 5.1+*/
url('myfont.ttf') format('truetype'); /* Safari 3—5, Chrome4+, Firefox 3.5, Opera 10+ */
}

It's not an advertisement :D
I succefully use http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface generator :) If You have z ttf file the rest is a piece of cake :)

How to make #font-face compatible in Internet Explorer?

Im trying to get my font to be compatible with Internet Explorer. My font works in all browsers except IE. I know that .ttf and .otf files are not compatible with IE, however I thought .eot files were. Ive looked at similar situations but I can't seem to understand the problem. My current code looks like:
#font-face {
font-family: Gotham;
src: url('../Gotham-Book.eot') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../Gotham-Book.ttf') format('truetype');
}
The .ttf file works fine (what is working on all other browsers), so I don't believe it is the pathing of the files.
I have purchased this font and have the license.
Use below codes:
#font-face{ /* for IE */
font-family:FishyFont;
src:url(fishy.eot);
}
#font-face { /* for non-IE */
font-family:FishyFont;
src:url(http://....) format("No-IE-404"),url(fishy.ttf) format("truetype");
}

Angular 2 Font to server

I have a problem with the font on the server. Localhost works, but the server has a different directory and does not read. With Logo is the same.
#font-face
font-family: BankGothic;
src: url('/assets/fonts/BankGothic.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('/assets/fonts/BankGothic.woff') format("woff"), /* Pretty Modern Browsers */
url('/assets/fonts/BankGothic.ttf') format('truetype'); /* Safari, Android, iOS */
The logo is made as a component
Is it possible to integrate this font and logo?
Try using absolute path for linking your font.
e.g
#font-face
font-family: BankGothic;
src: url('http://www.example.com/assets/fonts/BankGothic.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('http://www.example.com/assets/fonts/BankGothic.woff') format("woff"), /* Pretty Modern Browsers */
url('http://www.example.com/assets/fonts/BankGothic.ttf') format('truetype'); /* Safari, Android, iOS */
Maybe it helps you out. But if it's working on your localhost than it should be working on your server also. Unless and until you are following different directory structure on server. But this is obvious that your issue is regarding src path
I thought maybe something with
environment.apiUrl
But I do not know if it has the right to do it

Blurry Text Rendering on iOS

i working on the ios optimization of my current WIP template and i have a strange font problem.
as you can see here:
http://www.minddraft.com/anytain/htmltemplates/font-issue.html
the fonts in the topbar / navbar are totally crisp.
All fonts below are blurry. the bar with the add movies button is not transformed or something. the content with the covers is absolute positioned and the covers itself have perspective and 3d transforms.
the special thing is, that this affects only safari for ios. on chrome for android and desktop browsers all looks fine.
i've tried the following stuff to fix it:
increased the font-size and scaled it down
added webkit-font-smoothing
added translateZ(0)
added prespective
added preserve-3d
nothing worked. i have no more ideas how to fix this problem. any ideas?
Edit:
I use the following #font-face rules for my fonts:
#font-face {
font-family: 'Bariol';
src: url('fonts/bariol_light-webfont.eot');
src: url('fonts/bariol_light-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('fonts/bariol_light-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('fonts/bariol_light-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('fonts/bariol_light-webfont.svg#bariol_lightlight') format('svg');
font-weight: 300;
font-style: normal;
}
Cheers,
Marco
Either consider a different font format, from my experience .woff works very well, I had a similar problem once and for the life of me I can't recall what I did to fix it, consider something like the following:
#font-face {
font-family: 'MyWebFont';
src: url('myfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Chrome 6+, Firefox 3.6+, IE 9+, Safari 5.1+ */
url('myfont.ttf') format('truetype'); /* Chrome 4+, Firefox 3.5, Opera 10+, Safari 3—5 */
}
If you make sure every browser has its font format set everything should be fine, anything else is just odd.
I'm pretty sure my problem persisted up until one day when some updates rolled in for the various browsers, I remember specifically firefox having issues with the fonts I was using causing flickering and such.
Oke i fixed it!
The problem was a perspective:1500px on the wrapper itself. i have no idea why webkit on ios renders fonts so blurry when i apply a perspective. if anybody knows more about it, please share your knowledge :)

Cusom font with CSS - ONLY works with Internet Explorer

I am making a website for a friend of mine. He is very specific about the font on the page.
I have downloaded a custom font from the Internet, but the weird thing; it's only working in Internet Explorer (what a suprise).
This is my code:
#font-face
{
font-family: eurostile;
src: url(../font/eurostile.ttf);
}
#font-face
{
font-family: eurostile;
src: url(../font/eurostile.eot);
}
And this is how I am calling the font-family:
p
{
font-family: eurostile;
}
etc... What am I doing wrong?
You'll need to format it in a cross platform style. Look here.
The problem is that different browsers support different font styles.
Something like:
#font-face {
font-family: 'fontMN';
src: url('/fonts/font_font-webfont.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('/fonts/font_font-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('/fonts/font_font-webfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Modern Browsers */
url('/fonts/font_font-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
url('/fonts/font_font-webfont.svg#fontMN') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}
Would work.
You will need to acquire the formats that are valid for the browsers you're looking to support, as seen above.
Browser use different formats. IE uses the eot format, most use woff, but some use svg or ttf/otf.
Check this out:
http://www.fontspring.com/blog/the-new-bulletproof-font-face-syntax
You can create all these fonts by uploading a ttf/otf to fontsquirrel and using it's converter:

#font-face url pointing to local file

I need to include a font (OpenSymbol) in a html file and the font file is in a local folder (I know the exact absolute path to it). If I use #font-face like this:
#font-face {
font-family: "OpenSymbol";
src: url("<absolutePath>/OpenSymbol.ttf") format("truetype");
}
It works in Chrome, Opera and Safari, but not in Firefox neither IE9. Other #font-face usage works perfectly fine in all browsers.
Btw, in Chrome, I get a warning:
Resource interpreted as Font but transferred with MIME type application/octet-stream
What can I do to cleanly include a locally stored font which is not installed on the OS?
Edit:
I found out that the listing of different urls seems not to work! Chrome loads the font if I put the [...].ttf url in the first place, but not if it's somewhere else!
2nd Edit:
I got it to work in all browsers except firefox:
#font-face {
font-family: 'OpenSymbol';
src: url('file:<path>/openSymbol.ttf') format('truetype');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'OpenSymbolEOT';
src: url('file:<path>/openSymbol.eot') format('embedded-opentype');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
...
and then
.element {
font-family: OpenType, OpenTypeEOT, [...];
}
Anyway, it does work in IE but not in eclipse, which uses IE's rendering engine... o.O
Btw, firefox has problems because of security issues: See here
You just need one font file in web open font format. Go to http://www.fontconverter.org to convert your OpenSymbol.tff to OpenSymbol.woff. I am a cross-platform developer and i tested this works okay on:
Safari 10.1 and Firefox 52.0.2 on macOS 10.12.4 (iMac)
Internet Explorer 11.0 and Firefox 52.0.1 and Google Chrome 52.0 and Opera 53.0 on Windows 7 (PC)
Safari on iOS 10.3.1 (iPhone)
Chrome 57.0 and Asus Browser 2.0.3 on Android 5.0.2 (Asus tablet)
This goes in the css:
/* Add the decaration on top */
#font-face {
font-family: 'OpenSymbol';
src: url('font/OpenSymbol.woff') format('woff');
}
/* in separate css .elements or even the whole body, edit your font properties */
body {
font-family: OpenSymbol;
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
..
No need to bother with Embedded OpenType (EOT) fontfiles, because they are only needed for IE9 (2011) and IE10 (2012).
No need to bother with Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) fonts, because they're no longer needed since iOS 5.0
Already since 2012 Web Open Font Format (WOFF) is fully supported by every known browser. Truetype Fonts (TTF) are used local on iMac and PC, and can be used local on Android and iPhone as well. That's why web developers often make this mistake, using TTF instead of WOFF for a site.
It might be the browser is just not supporting the .ttf file. Consider working with fontsquirrel, it will generate all required files (.ttf, .woff, .svg, .eot) and css for you, and works in all browsers. I use it all the time...
According to a sample font page from Font Squirrel, Both IE 9 and Firefox require font files to be served from the same domain as the page they are loaded into. So with #font-face, your only option is to find the font file(s) you are trying to use and upload them to the site, and then use code similar to the following:
#font-face {
font-family: 'MyWebFont';
src: url('webfont.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('webfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Modern Browsers */
url('webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
url('webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}

EDIT: One more thing from the Font Squirrel page, if you are using an IIS server, the file types need to be add to the list of MIME types.
