Render font in in IE 8 and below (working in all other browsers)

Question

I can't make IE 8 and below (need preferably upto IE 6) render a font I have on my server.

The code I'm using is the following:

@font-face { 
    font-family:omnes; 
    src:url('fonts/Omnes-Regular.eot') format('eot'), 
        url('fonts/Omnes-Regular.otf') format('otf'),
        url('fonts/Omnes-Regular.ttf') format('truetype');
}

This seems to work for all other browsers, how can I approach this?

Try this:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'omnes';
    src: url('fonts/Omnes-Regular.eot');
    src: url('fonts/Omnes-Regular.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
         url('fonts/Omnes-Regular.ttf') format('truetype');
}

You probably do not need otf file format. This code is likely to work, because when IE tries getting anything other, than the eot format, the ? simply makes it think the rest of the string is a parameter, as in a php file.

Also, you should probably include woff and svg formats of the font as well. And use Font Squirrel, does all the job for you.
