I designed a custom ttf font in an old font creation package doesn’t work on Windows 7 On a website I am using the @font-face to display this font on the website. It works wonderfully in IE, Chrome and Safari. In Firefox, the font works only when Firefox is run directly from Visual Studio 2010. When I host the website in IIS on the same local computer, the font doesn’t show. I downloaded an open source ttf font and tested that in parallel. It worked fine on Firefox in both scenarios. So it wasn’t my relative/absolute URLs or any other coding anomaly. My impression is that Firefox is preventing my font from being displayed, possibly because I have a copyright buried inside the font. Does anybody know if Firefox has this sort of security?

Thanks for the suggestion. I got hold of a modern font creation package and regenerated the font. I then found that it worked in firefox in both scenarios. It seems that my old font creation package created fonts such that in a certain context, Firefox rejected the font.
