hosting fonts on azure cdn - CORS support

I cannot get azure blob storage hosted fonts exposed via azure cdn working in IE or Firefox.

I believe this is because of @font-face cross-domain issues (CORS) and the normal solution is to add an Access-Control-Allow-Origin header. I know that most CDNs now support this but am assuming that Azure still doesn't. Can anyone confirm this?

If this is the case, are there any workarounds?

Solution

  • This is no longer true, azure supports CORS
