On IE CSS font-face works only when navigating through inner links

Question

Our webdesigner has created a CSS with the following font-face:

@font-face {
    font-family: \'oxygenregular\';
    src: url(\'oxygen-regular-webfont.eot\')         


        

Answer 1

Make sure that it is not a pathing issue, i.e. your CSS file is relative to where the fonts are. In your case, you need your CSS file in the same folder as your font files.

Answer 2

I've faced with the same issue.

In case if header of the .eot file contains Cache-Control: no-cache value, IE9 doesn't load font properly. Dev Tools showed Result - 200, but column Received showed 400B, in the same time Content-Length was 70Kb. I've used following value Cache-Control: max-age=0, to fix issue.
