Thanks in advance for any help. I used WEFT and have eot files. I want to add unique font to a few headings in my blog in Blogger. I found out I couldn't upload my eot files to Blogger, so I then read that I could put it anywhere, and uploaded it to "eSnips", a file sharing thing. I added the style code to the Blogger template, it looks like this:

 

 

 

<$BlogMetaData$>

 

and when i load the blog page up, WEFT pops up a little window that says this:

 

Loading font 'unknown' - Error: Invalid font data
Loading font 'unknown' - Error: Invalid font data
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This window shows the dynamic font usage of IEXPLORE.EXE.
It will display status messages about each dynamic font loaded.
You can safely close this window and open it anytime you like
by double clicking on the small icon in the system tray.

 

I followed instructions exactly based on this:

Someone, out there, if you know how to help me, please do! Or if you know a place I should bring my problem to, let me know as well.......Thanx!

The URL looks fine now, but it still doesn't point to an EOT file. Did you really test that the URL works?

 

Try opening it in a browser. You should be prompted by the browser to open or save the file if it exists on the server. It won't work if you get an ad, a login page or someother intermediate page.

hmmmm....i see......it does go to a page where it asks you if you want to download the file......and then it prompts to open or save....

 

I don't know where I can host it where it'll prompt directly. I only used that particular file hosting place because someone else had and it worked. Do I just keep hosting it all over the place until it works?? 

 

......how do I find somewhere where it'll open? hmmm......  

 

Thank you for helping me, I sincerely appreciate it.
