Webfont not loading only in IE11, Windows 8.1 version
Hello, I have a problem with this website and I'm at a total loss:
http://www.cirworld.eu
Aside from some quirks, it's working fine on all browsers, except IE11 on W8.1.
The problem is with webfonts. They just won't load with that browser/OS combination.
The site is built with Wordpress and a theme I heavily modified.
The css for the webfonts was originally:
at the beginning of the style.css file.
I changed this to:
I wanted to use this gabriola font I bought but I kept the name Philosopher to avoid changing too many lines of code.
Anyway, my webfont doesn't show up in IE11/W8.1.
Google fonts didn't show up either (not even in IE11/W7, actually), until I added this to the header of the theme:
I hope someone can help me because I don't know how I may add this web font in a way that IE11/W8.1 recognizes it too...

		font-style: normal;

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.
