Hi,

Tried your suggested solution re-install Enfold by FTP but still showing Chinese characters instead of icons. Take a look here howdoidate.com.

Hi derek62!

Please try the fix under “Fonts not loading in Firefox or IE9” here http://www.fontsquirrel.com/blog/2010/11/troubleshooting-font-face-problems

Hey!

I think the problem is that your fonts load from a different domain. Replace the http://findlay56.dogloverbiz.netdna-cdn.com path with http://howdoidate.com/ and IE11 will display the fonts. Another user reported that even the www prefix may break IE11 and the “origin” hack ( http://www.fontsquirrel.com/blog/2010/11/troubleshooting-font-face-problems ) doesn’t always work.

Cheers!

Hey dude,

You were spot on. The problem was that your fonts load from a different domain. This was because I was using MaxCDN.

So I’ve cancelled my MaxCDN account saving $39 per annum and now that I’ve unhooked from CDN have discovered my site actually loads faster!!!!!!
