@font-face's src property takes a comma-separated list of sources, so I don't think you need to resort to conditional comments in this case. Try the following instead:

    @font-face {
        font-family: "testing";
        src: url("output.eot"),
             url("output.ttf") format("truetype");
    }

Unfortunately, IE (6 and 8 tested) doesn't seem to honour the list of sources. I did my own testing just now (involving lots of frustration).

It doesn't work regardless of the order of the sources. So, it's back to conditional comments. :(

IE will ignore font-face declarations with any format() hints:

Just make 2 font face declarations, like this:

@font-face{
	font-family: 'MuseoSans500'; 
	src: url('MuseoSans500.eot');
}
@font-face{
	font-family: 'MuseoSans500'; 
	src: url('MuseoSans_500.otf') format('opentype');
}

Im doing it this way on my site and works like charm. Have a look: www.pabloimpallari.com.ar

Thanks so much for this. Microsoft's WEFT just wouldn't convert the font I wanted, and this is so much easier then WEFT.

I am using the same font as impallari no less, hope it doesn't turn into Verdana :P

Thanks this is a must !

I compiled this on my iMac (OS X 10.5.7). But when I try to convert a fon all it gives me when I try to make an .eot is "command not found".

I had horrid trouble with my converted opentype font, but I found the problem and posted a solution: http://karoshiethos.com/2009/08/05/creating-eot-files-with-ttf2eot/

Confirming Impallari's comment that:

1) It's not necessary to use conditional comments for the IE's (IE6,7 & 8), 2) Just make 2 @font-face declarations;

It is imperative that the IE declaration come FIRST. This isn't for IE, but rather, for the 'modern' browsers (i.e., FFx 3.5+, Safari, etc.) If the EOT file is last, those browsers will try to load the EOT file and fail.

I can't get font-face to work on ie

this is what i got , declaring eot before for ie browsers

@font-face {

font-family: "trade"; src: url("../type/LTe50543.eot");

} / EOT file for IE /

@font-face {

font-family: "trade"; src: url("../type/LTe50543.ttf") format("TrueType?"); }

works in all other browser that support @font-face

for people who want to drag and drop multiple font files and create EOT files with the same name, here is a batch file. Just put it in the same directory as ttf2eot.exe and drag fonts on to the .bat file.

@echo off
if [%1]==[] goto :eof
:loop
ttf2eot %1 "%~dpn1.eot"
shift
if not [%1]==[] goto loop

This tool is so much better than WEFT, it wants your email address to use it... I thought that was ridiculous... in mere minutes I was able to get this going and done..

Thanks!! (I don't use the double ! marks without reason)

You are the greatest!

WOW excellent tool i love this

Batch file from Sep 11, 2009 won't work if ttf2eot.exe isn't within your path environment. Name the batch ttf2eot.cmd and place it in the same directory as ttf2eot.exe and everything is fine:

@set prog=%~pn0.exe @if %1?== goto :eof :loop @%prog% %1 "%~dpn1.eot" @shift @if not %1?== goto loop

Why do I have to register at google with a valid email adress to write this comment? See above: mburu.samuel, Oct 17, 2009. The email at WEFT isn't checked.

Hi, is there a way to convert this code into PHP ??
