I have incorporated a Font Awesome icon into my project. The HTML page is generated from an XSL Template in the following manner:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
<meta content="IE=9; IE=EDGE" http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/jquery-ui.css?ver=T1.0" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/font-awesome.min.css?ver=T1.0" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css?ver=T1.0" />
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="images/favicon.ico" />
</head>
<body>
</body>
Despite adding meta tags to set document mode to the latest available version after researching on stackoverflow, I am facing issues with both my base FONT (Lato) not loading and the Font Awesome icon disappearing on my page in IE compatibility mode (both IE9 & IE11).
Can anyone advise me on what might be missing?
Warm regards,
Here is a snippet from my style.css file -
@font-face{
font-family: 'Lato';
src: url('../fonts/lato-v11-latin-regular.eot');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
@font-face {
font-family: 'Lato';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
src: url('../fonts/lato-v11-latin-regular.eot');
src: local('Lato Regular'), local('Lato-Regular'),
url('../fonts/lato-v11-latin-regular.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../fonts/lato-v11-latin-regular.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('../fonts/lato-v11-latin-regular.woff') format('woff'),
url('../fonts/lato-v11-latin-regular.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../fonts/lato-v11-latin-regular.svg#Lato') format('svg');
}
In other browsers such as Chrome, FireFox, and IE9 & IE11 (Normal Mode), everything seems to be working fine. One thing to note is that installing the fontawesome-webfont.ttf in the system through the Control Panel (Windows) resolves the issue. Additionally, some websites suggested adding the Font Face twice.
