Web font not showing in Firefox - html

http://miche.com/
This is the strangest thing. We're using two web fonts and their varying weights on the above page: Benton Sans and Jubilat, both of which we have licenses for. The h2 ("Interested in joining Miche?" "Already a Miche Representative?") is set to be Jubilat Regular, and is properly showing up in Firefox; however, the h1 ("Welcome!") is Jubilat Light, and appearing as Times New Roman.
Both weights are generated with Font Squirrel.
Both are hosted on the same server.
Both are coded in the same way.
I've reuploaded the files.
I've tried if IE so FF doesn't try to use .eot.
Before you say it: Yes, I have tried Bulletproof.
Why is Regular showing up when Light isn't? I wonder if I'm just not using the right combination of CSS.
#font-face {
font-family: 'JubilatLight';
src: url('https://bc.miche.com/FileUploads/CMS/Documents/jubilatlightwebfont.eot');
src: url('https://bc.miche.com/FileUploads/CMS/Documents/jubilatlightwebfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('https://bc.miche.com/FileUploads/CMS/Documents/jubilatlightwebfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('https://bc.miche.com/FileUploads/CMS/Documents/jubilatlightwebfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('https://bc.miche.com/FileUploads/CMS/Documents/jubilatlightwebfont.svg#JubilatLight') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
#main-container h1.jubilat {
font-family: "JubilatLight";
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 40px;
color: #701271;
text-align: center;
}

I figured it out. Firefox wasn't accepting absolute links, and instead wanted relative. Coupled with Mo'Bulletproof, I was able to get it to show up like so:
#font-face{ /* for IE */
font-family:JubilatLight;
src:url(/FileUploads/CMS/Documents/jubilatlightwebfont.eot);
}
#font-face { /* for non-IE */
font-family:JubilatLight;
src:url(http://:/) format("No-IE-404"),url(/FileUploads/CMS/Documents/jubilatlightwebfont.ttf) format("truetype");
}
#main-container h1.jubilattest {
font-family: "JubilatLight";
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 40px;
color: #701271;
text-align: center;
}
and then my HTML:
<div id="main-container">
<h1 class="jubilattest">WELCOME!</h1>
</div>
Now that I've figured that out, I'll be able to fix the other fonts. Thank you three for your suggestions.

Just want to let you know, there's also a way by configuring the htaccess (discribed by Yu-Jie Lin)
his code:
<FilesMatch "\.(ttf|otf|eot)$">
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
</IfModule>
</FilesMatch>

Your fonts are not correctly uploaded/linked.
jubilatlightwebfont.woff for example gives a 404 error.
Take a look at the Web-Console of Firefox. It throws some errors, for example:
downloadable font: download failed (font-family: "JubilatLight" style:normal weight:normal stretch:normal src index:2): bad URI or cross-site access not allowed
source: https://bc.miche.com/FileUploads/CMS/Documents/jubilatlightwebfont.ttf # https://www.miche.com/FileUploads/CMS/Documents/MicheCorp092911v2.css
(btw: the h2 elements use Times New Roman too, for me.)

I took a look at your CSS and it looks like you aren't correctly defining your font for your H2, so it's defaulting to TimesNewRoman:
#main-container h2.jubilat {
color: #701271;
font-family: "jubilat"; // <----------------
font-size: 18px;
font-weight: normal;
text-align: center;
}

try to use implemented base64-encoded font-files within the css-doc:
#font-face {
font-family:"font-name";
src:url(data:font/opentype;base64,[paste-64-code-here]);
font-style:normal;
font-weight:400;
}
source: http://sosweetcreative.com/2613/font-face-and-base64-data-uri
it worked perfectly...

How do I actually import external fonts to my website (CSS)

I searched the web and look for ways to add an external fonts to the web or CSS. I know we should use #font-face to do that. But, my website doesn't load the font when I reload. Can someone see the problems for me?
This is my codes:
<style>
#font-face {
font-family: 'vcr_osd_monoregular';
src: url('vcr_osd_mono-webfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('vcr_osd_mono-webfont.woff') format('woff');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
h1 {
font-size: 90px;
font-family: "vcr_osd_monoregular", sans-serif;
color: yellow;
}
</style>```
Instead of printing out vcr_osd_monoregular font, it prints out sans-serif. Please help.

#font-face won't work. how do I do this properly?

So I have this custom font and it won't work. Please help.
#font-face{
font-family: Anton;
src: url('../../assets/fonts/Anton-Regular.ttf')format('truetype');
}
.home-content-right h1{
font-size: 60px;
font-style: 'Anton',sans-serif;
}
#font-face {
font-family: myFont;
src: url(fonts/Akrobat-Bold.otf);
}
.h1{
font-family: "myFont";
}
For example, I put .otf font file in folder fonts, that works without problem. You will just change name of your font and source path.
A couple things could be happening.
First, your h1 tag is using font-style instead of font, so:
#font-face {
font-family: Anton;
src: url('../../assets/fonts/Anton-Regular.ttf')format('truetype');
}
.home-content-right h1{
font: 'Anton',sans-serif;
font-size: 60px;
}
i.e. font rather than font-style on the h1.
Also, it looks like its possible you are using Rails or some other framework based on the folder structure you are using. If so, its possible that the framework is digesting your asset (i.e. fingerprinting it so its Anton-Regular.ttf-02987910hsa or something like that in case it changes so your browser doesn't cache it incorrectly. If you are using Rails, you'll need to use asset-url('URL') in order to get the most recently fingerprinted asset.

Why my Web custom font is not being applied?

I have a custom font in my Web site, and I uploaded it to my site.
This is my site.
I want to apply all my Web the oswaldlight. Since now, I've uploaded the font into a known folder for me and added it as a #font-face like this:
#font-face {
font-family: 'oswaldlight';
src: url('../font/oswald/oswald.light-webfont.eot');
src: url('../font/oswald/oswald.light-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../font/oswald/oswald.light-webfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('../font/oswald/oswald.light-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('../font/oswald/oswald.light-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../font/oswald/oswald.light-webfont.svg#oswaldlight') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
This piece of code has been added in my ftp. And if you check which font is using each heading, you see this using Firebug:
element.style {
color: #000000;
font-size: 24px;
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 40px;
margin: 12px 0 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: left;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
*::before, *::after {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
*::before, *::after {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.heading h2 {
font-family: "oswaldlight";
font-size: 24px;
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 30px;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
But it's still not being applied to my heading. Any idea why it's not being applied?
EDIT: I saw the error that #Lucky Chingi mentions. I added to my .htcaccess the following lines:
# BEGIN WordPress
Header add (also tried 'set') Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
# END WordPress
But it still doesn't work... Any suggestions?
You don't need to host your fonts on your page. Google delivers fonts fast.
So you can do:
#import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald);
This imports the font as 'Oswald' using #font-face. If you type the above URL into the browser, you also see that it dynamically loads different files depending on which browser you're using. Try on Firefox and on Chrome to see for yourself.
Now wherever you want Oswald, simply type:
font-family: Oswald;
Also, for best results, load your font-faces before loading any other CSS.
Finally it was a problem with my Web domain that was pointing to another private domain. After a while, it ended pointing to my destiny domain. Thanks boys!
try
*{font:100%/1.0 'oswaldlight';}
make sure your path to that font-file(s) are correct
and, remove headers if possible, some browsers behave differently with some headers

Add font to website

I am trying to add Ubuntu font to my website, I'd like to have it universal on the site so everything is in that font but I started by just adding it to my h1 tag to see if it works, but it doesn't work. I have uploaded the font to my server.
This is my css so far:
#font-face {
font-family: 'Ubuntu';
src: url('ubuntu/Ubuntu-R.ttf') format('truetype');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
font-family: 'Ubuntu', sans-serif;
font-weight : normal;
margin-top: 10px;
letter-spacing: -1px;
}
h1 {
font-family: 'Ubuntu', sans-serif;
color: #000;
margin-bottom : 0.2em;
font-size : 3em; /* 96 / 16 */
line-height : 1.4;
}
I'm probably being really stupid, as usual. I've looked at other examples but can't really see what I am doing wrong.
The problem can be solved in 2 ways.
You can either add the google font cdn to the head tag of your website if already hosted or if you have active internet access, so you don't need to worry adding it locally in your folder.
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
Like so
Or probably your file path location is wrong
if your fonts are packed the root directory, you can easily call it like
src: url('Ubuntu-R.ttf') format('truetype');
But if it is in a folder (e.g ubuntu)
it can be src: url('ubuntu/Ubuntu-R.ttf') format('truetype');
But if in a very long path.. try doing something like this
src: url(../ubuntu/Ubuntu-R.ttf);
Then calling the font-family attribute, call just "one" name, if it is locally in a folder. like so
#font-face {
font-family: Ubuntu;
src: url(ubuntu/Ubuntu-R.ttf);
}
.myclass{
font-family:Ubuntu; // The exact name for the #font-face
}
Hope it helps
It is as simple as adding this line as the first line of your style.css or whatever you call it:
#import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu);
It takes care of everything, and then you can just start using it in your css:
.ubuntu-font {
font-family: "Ubuntu";
}
If you'd like bold and italic or some other things as well, you can just go here, pick those that you want, and copy the #import from section 3 in that page.
Also, with this you do not need to upload the font to your server, I don't see why everyone should upload all fonts to their server when there are several fast CDNs that already have everything there.

Stylish custom font

I'm working on a style to change font to a custom one for a project. the code seems to work in the editing window but real sites doesn't seem to work. I think its falling back on a system default. How do I get around this? I'm using chrome if that matters.
#font-face {
font-family: 'wantedfont';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: local('wantedfont'),url(http://hazel-is.me/times_new_ancient.ttf);
}
*{
cursor: url(http://puu.sh/hoJq2/46859bf607.gif), progress;
font-family: wantedfont !important;
}
you can use the "bulletproof" syntax and add a ☺︎ as local font name to make sure it does not load a local font. more importantly add format declaration, full rule should be as such:
#font-face {
font-family: 'Graublau Web';
src: url('GraublauWeb.eot');
src: local('☺︎'),
url("GraublauWeb.woff") format("woff"),
url("GraublauWeb.otf") format("opentype"),
url("GraublauWeb.svg#grablau") format("svg");
}
