WEFT fonts show only on the computer I used to create them from

Hi
Please help - I have a question I've seen others raise.  I generated some WEFT fonts and uploaded everything to my website (above).  From the computer where the fonts were created, I go into IE or Firefox and all looks great.
However, from any other computer - using either browser - the fonts are not used.  For example, check out the use of the Mistral font in the header.html page - not working.
Even in the content where I specify tahoma for "regular" text (for example the page attractions.html), Tahoma is not actully used.  Again, on the "developer" computer, it all looks peachy and nice.

Very frustrating - anyone got any ideas for me?  Obviously there's something goody with the paths, and the website paths back to my developer machine for the font.  But how..?

hi,

   your EOT doesn't have your domain name in "Allowed root list"

Re-generate the EOT including the domain name you wish to use them at.

Thanks Prabudh
You mean that in this part of the code, I need to replace the last line?  
  @font-face {
    font-family: Mistral;
    font-style:  normal;
    font-weight: normal;
    src: url(MISTRAL2.eot);

What root should I use - http://www.loire-cottage.com?  
Can you suggest how to change this code - what should I type?  Should it be:  
src: http://www.loire-valley.com{MISTRAL2.eot};

Next question (sorry)...
some friends report that they cannot see my website.  I looked at one of their computers, and it rendered the email address in the frame at the bottom of IE, so it cleared read something.  But I worry now that the WEFT was disabled somehow - (inadvertently) by their security settings.  If I use "Medium" as my security setting, a security report shows the four EOT files causing a problem.  
So, is there a way to use EOT files and specify somehow that IE security should not worry about them?

hi,

    check your framed pages, as i can see one frame had multiple EOT's in reference and other has only one.

Some of your EOT's are not working.

Loading font 'unknown' - Error: Invalid font data
Loading font 'unknown' - Error: Invalid font data
Loading font 'unknown' - Error: Invalid font data
Loading font Monotype Corsiva - 16.3kb in 0.0s

 

Regenerate/upload your EOT's for other fonts you may be using, also no need to use EOT for windows core font as they are mostly available on all windows based machines.

 

See ya,

prabudh

Hi All

I am making the portal in Hindi using the fonts Kruti dev,dynamically.I have made some pages in hindi which are running fine. My problem is there are number of spaces coming between the words. My mean to say is, words are coming with spaces. But when I see the source of that page there is no space in between the alphabets. They looks fine  in Word editor like Dreamweaver etc...but when i see them in IE then it shows with spaces. Is this is problem of Browser or in my web page.Kindly let me know the solution plz...thanx in advance

It's a problem with IE, non-standard encoded fonts, and "zero width marks" (characters like candrabindu, anusvara, and matras).

 

Simple solution is to use Unicode font (I don't think Kruti is!?). IE handles zero width mark for Hindi, but not for non-Unicode Hindi fonts. There are many good public Unicode Hindi fonts that you can use instead. (Google for them).

 

Regards,
