Fonts/icons not displaying in Firefox - just getting unicode - CORS problem?

[jonharrisp...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I'm trying to modify some icons which came in my Wordpress theme. This is the first time I've encountered these glyph fonts, so kinda new to the whole thing.

After several hours of fiddling, I finally realised that my changes have taken effect, just not in FireFox.

After reading this post followed the advice about CORS: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/icomoon/firefox/icomoon/Z1V4jrbgSAc/Jy3hArbTOeUJ

However I think I need a bit more advice...

I tried editing the .htaccess file at the root of my site, placing the code both before and after the existing content in the file. This broke my site.

So I tried creating a new .htaccess file with just the CORS code and placed it in the fonts folder I created in the child theme, along with the icomoon font files. This did nothing.

Does anyone else have any suggestions on how to get these fonts working in FireFox?

Thanks!
Jon

I probably should just add a bit more info...

The original icons provided with the theme display fine... it's only when I try and put new ones in that this display issue occurs...
