Tutorials

Ever find yourself wondering just how someone managed to create an image using different effects?

Here are three simple tutorials we hope will encourage you to try something new.

The Hot Seat

A lifelong interest in landscape photography has led Eyal Oren to make a study of his adopted hometown of Marblehead, MA. As you can see, his dedication is paying off!

Fonts not displaying properly in IE9
I've come across a problem with my site, wondering if anyone can tell me what's going wrong.

I have two domains, synapticfire.co.uk (blog and actual physical hosting) and burningbranches.co.uk (SmugMug redirect).
The fonts for the header of both pages (as I've tried to replicate the look & feel across both) sit in SynapticFire, and the CSS on SmugMug reflects this.
Everything works fine in Chrome (because Chrome is a wonderful browser).

I've had to make some changes on my server to allow Firefox to reference the font files from across domains, so everything now works fine in Firefox.

However, Internet Explorer does not. I only discovered this when I started a job that mandated employees use IE9 ... urgh.

Anyway, I can't see what the problem is, code wise.

Code:
@font-face {
    font-family: 'LeagueGothicRegular';
    src: url('http://www.synapticfire.co.uk/wp-content/themes/purity/css/font/League_Gothic-webfont.eot');
    src: url('http://www.synapticfire.co.uk/wp-content/themes/purity/css/font/League_Gothic-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
         url('http://www.synapticfire.co.uk/wp-content/themes/purity/css/font/League_Gothic-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
         url('http://www.synapticfire.co.uk/wp-content/themes/purity/css/font/League_Gothic-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
         url('http://www.synapticfire.co.uk/wp-content/themes/purity/css/font/League_Gothic-webfont.svg#LeagueGothicRegular') format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
}
As you can see, all file extensions are catered for. The site at synapticfire.co.uk (where the files reside and where the CSS uses a relative link to the files) displays okay in IE9 too.

Is there something I'm missing (like Firefox needing a .htaccess modification to allow cross-domain file embedding)?

Please help :)

Nevermind, sorted it :)

Thanks to the IE Developer Tools (F12) Console I realised that it was suffering the same issue as Firefox was.

When I looked at my Access-Control-Origin declaration in .htaccess it was only specified for .ttf and .otf files. I added in .eot and .woff and now it's working a charm :)
