@Font-Face Not Displaying Correctly in Ie

@font-face not displaying correctly in IE

Multiple font formats

To support a wide range of browsers, use a .ttf, .woff and .eot version of the font.

@font-face {
    font-family: 'shardee';
    src: url('fonts/Shardee.eot');
    src: url('fonts/Shardee.eot?#iefix')
             format('embedded-opentype'),
         url('fonts/Shardee.woff') format('woff'),
         url('fonts/Shardee.ttf') format('truetype');
}

You can use a Font conversion website like Font Squirrel, to convert the .ttf font into .woff and .eot.

DRM false positive

As @Jukka pointed out, there's a legal issue with the TTF file that's preventing it from being usable in Windows. In the IE developer console, the following error message is displayed :

CSS3114: @font-face failed OpenType embedding permission check.
Permission must be Installable.

Shardee appears to be an abandoned font with an unknown license type. Although it may be legal to use this font, Windows seems to require that every TTF file has DRM info that explicitly says it's legal to embed it in web pages. The error in IE is most likely a false positive.

To test this, I took a TTF font that's known to be legally licensed for use on websites. The TTF version didn't work in IE because of the DRM error. This example is definitely a false positive. This is one of the reasons why it's necessary to use multiple font formats, and why a single format like TTF will not work on all browsers.

Although Windows doesn't allow IE to use the TTF file, IE can still use the WOFF or EOT version. When I tested the above @font-face rule on a local webserver, using all three font formats, the Shardee font rendered correctly in all versions of IE (though with an error message in the IE developer console).

Steps to try:

1. Convert the .ttf file to .woff and .eot
2. Upload the .woff and .eot files to the same directory as the existing .ttf file.
3. Replace the @font-face rule with the one above. I fixed a couple typos in the initial version of it.

If you still have a problem, there may be an issue with the web server settings. Related question: IE9 blocks download of cross-origin web font

font-face not working in IE 10

I assume this is in an HTML file, due to the HTML comments and style elements...if not, look into that.

Beyond that, just use the @font-face generator

Font-face not working in IE, otf font

Internet explorer use eot format (legacy) or woff.
See MSDN

Anyway i use this code for maximum compatibility:

@font-face {
  font-family: 'MyWebFont';
  src: url('webfont.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
  src: url('webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
       url('webfont.woff2') format('woff2'), /* Super Modern Browsers */
       url('webfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Pretty Modern Browsers */
       url('webfont.ttf')  format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
       url('webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}

Font Face not working in IE8 as expected

If IE8 throws the CSS3111: @font-face encountered unknown error, you probably have the non-matching font-family name problem.

To resolve this, you need to edit your font file, define identical names for Fontname, Family name and Name for humans and export your TTF. This can be done using the FontForge application. Afterwards, you than again convert it for web (EOT, WOFF).

Update

Made it working by downloading an own version of the TTF font and converted it for web. The CSS I used:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'portagoitc-tt';
    src: url('fonts/portagoitc-tt.eot');
    src: url('fonts/portagoitc-tt.eot?iefix') format('opentype'),
         url('fonts/portagoitc-tt.woff') format('woff'),
         url('fonts/portagoitc-tt.ttf') format('truetype');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
}
