@font-face and Firefox

[jonthebeef]

I'm trying to use the @font-face CSS3 property to embed some fonts
that are outside of the usual web-safe stack, and while they look fine
in Safari, Opera and Chrome, they won't display in Firefox. After
reading the documentation found here -> https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/@font-face,
it seems that Firefox doesn't allow cross site transfers when using
font-face, hence the desired fonts are not displayed. I'm hosting the
fonts on my own server, and linking to them in the CSS.

Is there any trickery I can do to push them through? It seems the only
way would be for Posterous to host them, or to use some HTTP access.

Any thoughts from any great minds out there?

I'll give that a try, though when I linked to an external style sheet it broke all styling completely. I can see on yours that the style sheet is linked so maybe there's an issue with permissions or HT access on my server. Will investigate.

In any case, when I looked at yours, the browser asked for permission to use Chunk. I declined, and the type came through in Georgia (which I presume is the next one in your stack). I've approved FF to use the fonts in @font-face locally, so they pull through. Maybe that's what you've been doing?

Thanks for the help anyhow - I'll give it a try.

Hi,
