Hi

I have been looking at @font-face attribute.
I'm a little confused.

I have added this code as a test:

@font-face {
	font-family: 'Planewalker'; src: url('font/Planewalker.ttf') format('truetype');font-style: normal;}
@font-face {
	font-family: 'League Gothic'; src: url('font/League_Gothic-webfont.ttf') format('truetype');font-style: normal;}
 
.change {
	font-style: normal;
	font-family: Planewalker;
	font-variant: normal;
}
 
.change2 {
	font-style: normal;
	font-family: League Gothic;
	font-variant: normal;
}

Now!
The first font shows in Safari 5, but not the second. Neither show in Firefox 4, and both DO show in CSSEdit 3 (the styling app I use)
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong??

Thanks in advance

Update

I found this example that works in Chrome/Firefox and Safari: Working!!
Since I looked at his code I got the Firefox to work but not the Chrome.
I have a live version here!!

The code now reads:

@font-face {
	font-family: Planewalker;
	src: local('Planewalker'), url('font/Planewalker.ttf') format("truetype");
	font-style: normal;
}
 
.change {
	font-style: normal;
	font-family: Planewalker, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-variant: normal;
}
 
@font-face {
	font-family: 'League Gothic';
	src: local('League Gothic'), url('font/League_Gothic-webfont.ttf') format('truetype');
	font-style: normal;
}
 
.change2 {
	font-style: normal;
	font-family: League Gothic, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-variant: normal;
}

Bulletproof font-face

I've found this solution works best in all browsers.

Managed to fix it! For some

Managed to fix it!

For some reason the font/[font name] route seemed to hold in a cache, but wasn't correct.
as soon as I added the ../ infront everything worked fine!!

You need the single quotes in .change2 as well. Anything with a space in the name requires quoting. Better yet, don't use a space in the name.

You could also use a service

You could also use a service like Font Squirrel that will convert your ttf into different font types that are compaitable with different browsers and will also supply you with the CSS that works on a majority of the brothers.
