Using Entypo @ font-face does not work in IE8 or later?

I just started using the Entypo font to create social icons, but in IE8 or later, it displays the font as an empty cell. I don’t know if something is wrong with my code or their font.

@font-face { font-family: 'entypo-social'; src: url('entypo-social.eot'); src: url('entypo-social.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('entypo-social.woff') format('woff'), url('entypo-social.ttf') format('truetype'), url('entypo-social.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); } .social_font a{ font: 47px/20px 'entypo-social', Arial, sans-serif; }

Entypo does not work in IE8. I just visited their website in IE8 and their demos are completely broken.

This is the code I used for font-face:

 @font-face { font-family: 'ChunkFive'; src: url('ChunkFive.eot'); src: url('ChunkFive.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('ChunkFive.woff') format('woff'), url('ChunkFive.ttf') format('truetype'), url('ChunkFive.svg#font') format('svg'); ; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; }

you could take llok at that. http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/using-font-face/

By the way: font-face Do works in IE8.

Try using http://fontello.com/ - select the entypo icons you need and download their package. This worked in IE7 + for me.

Double check that you did not receive IE Type of compatibility . Just wasted after an hour without checking, and it works great when it is canceled.

Also, if you are using html5shiv, try placing it after the css file containing the fonts.
