I read every where in this forum that with an external sheet it works fine , when it doesn't works AT ALL !!!

What I've found is that you need the WEFT declaration in the web page and then the external style sheet.  It works fine that way, but if you put the WEFT declaration in the external style sheet, forget it working on anything.  Not sure why.

This is incorrect - there is no need to put the declaration in two places.

Although I'd recommend that the you include the style declaration in the page not a linked style sheet, it should work - the famous Webmonkey tutorial does this.

Although putting the font linking code in the external stylesheet isn't recommended I recall that our own internal test suite pages use both inline and linked stylesheets. I checked these pages and they work fine. Maybe Eb is getting confused  by the fact that WEFT doesn't modify linked stylesheets? This is intentional for the reasons repeated several times on this board. You can of course move the linking code to your external stylesheet even though this isn't advised.

 

LM's experience is contradicted by our test pages which work fine.
