Font-face not loading in IE8 and IE9 when accessing web via SSL

Question

I\'m using a webfont for my website (made with Spring for an Apache Tomcat 6 server). I\'m including my font in my css file with font-face as:

@font-face{
  font         


        

Answer 1

I was running into exactly the same problem and finally fixed it today. I noticed a particular web font was working in IE8/9 on one HTTPS domain, but not on another. The server for the domain that didn't work was sending the following HTTP response header for the .eot request:

Cache-Control: no-cache

When this header was removed the fonts were working in IE8/9 again. I hope this helps you as well.
