@font-face not working even after trying everything I could think of

I really need help with @font-face code. IT doesn't seem to see my font file.

I tried changing the path to anything I could think of, made new folders, renamed existing ones, put the font file in my root etc.

I'm testing in Firefox and Chrome.

Here are the codes that I tried in my CSS:

src: url(http://thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(http://www.thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(www.thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(../wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(/thefalltheme/images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(../thefalltheme/images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(thefalltheme/images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(/images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(../images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(www.thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/Univers.ttf);
src: url(/Univers.ttf);
src: url(Univers.ttf);
src: url(../Univers.ttf);

Can you find out where I should put the font file or what to change in my CSS to get it to work?

(I also checked the similar questions here and elsewhere on the net and tried using this website to no avail.)

Thanks!

UPDATE: bozdoz's suggestion doesn't work. I used FontSquirrel to get the fonts. This is the CSS:

@font-face { font-family: 'lane'; src: url('http://thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/univers-webfont.eot'); src: url('thttp://thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/univers-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('http://thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/univers-webfont.woff') format('woff'), url('http://thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/univers-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), url('http://thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/univers-webfont.svg#LaneHumouresqueRegular') format('svg'); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; }

h1{ font-size: 110px; font-family: 'lane', georgia, serif; color: #000000; }

I used the name 'lane' just because bozdoz had it.

All of the fonts are here:

http://thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/

and these are their names:

univers-webfont.eot, univers-webfont.woof, univers-webfont.ttf, univers-webfont.svg

Solution

  • First of all, thank you all for your great, great help! There was no problem with the @font-face code. The problem was with my overall CSS. You see, my CSS was written like this:

    /*   
Info
*/

@media screen {
* {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
html { background: black url(images/bg.jpg); }
body { font: 14px/1.4 Georgia, serif; }
article, aside, figure, footer, header, nav, section { display: block; }

@font-face {
font-family: 'lane';
src: url('http://thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/univers-webfont.eot');
src: url('thttp://thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/univers-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
     url('http://thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/univers-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
     url('http://thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/univers-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
     url('http://thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/univers-webfont.svg#LaneHumouresqueRegular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}

etc.

    The problem was that @font-face wasn't seen because it was after @media screen! After I put it in front of @media screen and after /* Info */ it worked flawlessly.

    Also, seems like I can use absolute and relative paths when using Wordpress...

    Once again, thank you all for all your help!
