A few problems - downloading one of your eot's at random, reveals that the allowed roots dont match the url you provide. They contain...

file://c:

and

http://3lawan3.com/fonts/

the required allowed root...

http://216.149.53.213/

... isn't included.

Also your code looks a bit random - linking to eot's in various locations...

My advice would be to go through the tutorial I posted this evening - the link can be found in the 'WEFT 3 Documentation' thread.

dear Si,

I've recreated the font objects and remove the "c:"-thing and place them in http://216.149.53.213/fonts/

but the fonts still seems not working.

Any advice, please ......

Again, i think you should re-read the documentation on allowed roots - I downloaded another of your eots. This one included allowed roots for... http://216.149.53.213/   http://www.3lawan3.com/ and not the URL you specified http://3lawan3.com/ note the missing 'www.' so as expected accessing the page via 'http://www.3lawan3.com/' works! Your page is also overly complicated as a test - you're linking lots of eot's and the page contains hardly any text - not a good example. Cheers, Si

I've added these notes to the tutorial posted on Microsoft.com

What might go wrong

Incorrect allowed roots

The most common problems relate to incorrect allowed roots. For example you may have included http://www.your_web_server.com/ as the only allowed root in your eot, but tried to access your page via http://your_web_server.com/. The missing 'www' is important.

You may have included http://www.your_web_server.com/fonts/ as the only allowed root in your eot, but tried to access your page via http://www.your_web_server.com/pages/. Here the allowed root doesn't match the page address. You should recreate the eot's using http://www.your_web_server.com/pages/ or just http://www.your_web_server.com/ as allowed roots.

Another common mistake is trying to access a page via a numeric address but neglecting to include it as an allowed root. For example if you want to access a page via http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/, this should be included as an allowed root.

Greeting everybody .....

I think I got it, I mis-created the font objects...

So..

if I create a font object with Weft 3, it's asking me twice about the allowed root, didn't it ?

Is it Ok to add few allowed root ?

eg. http://www.xxxxx.com/, http://xxxx.com and http://nn.nnn.nnn.nn

Thanks a million

I think my http://www.3lawan3.com/test.htm

is working.

U R the Best

As indicated in the documentation - you can include as many allowed roots as you like/need.
