ie7-js - issue #229

IE9.js stops IE8 using @font-face fonts


Posted on Mar 3, 2010 by Massive Horse

Without IE9.js, my IE8 in Vista renders type specified via @font-face declaration.

With IE9.js, it initially renders in correct font as expected, but then changes it to Arial (presumably once the Javascript is executed).

Ha ha. OK. I will spend some time on this project over the weekend. I'll try to get rid of the regressions too.

Hello Dean,

this bug is really annoying because it breaks already implemented functionality in still quite stupid IE8. This library is otherwise the savior if one need to start implement the CSS3 selectors right now, which is what many people starts to do. But in starting era of web fonts embedding it renders useless, which is pitty.

thank you for re-considering to make this bug the top priority for repairing
