Full IE Support in WordPress Font Uploader v1.2

Plugins, Wordpress42 comments

I’m pleased to announce that my premium WordPress Font Uploader plugin now has full support for fonts in Internet Explorer.

100% Cross Browser Compatible Fonts

This means that you can now display any font anywhere you like on your website, while being assured that it will work no matter what browser your site visitor is using.

Check out the screencast below for a demonstration of this new feature.

Convert your fonts

To convert your fonts to a .eot, readable by Internet Explorer, use the link below:

    Pippin:

    Excellent plugin.

    The plugin works great in IE, but not in Firefox. Any ideas as to why?

  2. Have you set both a .eot and .ttf font?

    Hi Pippin,

    Does this plugin also work with IE9?

  4. Hi, we used this plugin to make our site font compatible but we found some letters missing. we have our own eot, ttf and pfr font and also a java script. will you help us to make it work in our site http://www.odisha.com/wp. regards,

  5. @Jatindra – if there are letters missing it is a problem with the font file, not the plugin. I would recommend trying to find another version of the font, or one that is similar, and see I that fixes the missing letters.

    Hey Pippin, thanks for the great plugin. I have found IE to not render the fonts very well… Check my site: http://creativeaddict.co.za/. Check the menu item “Design Services”. The “R” in IE is smaller than the rest, it looks ridiculous BUT it is fine in FF so I know it is not the font file (Also the “B” in “Blog” does the same thing). Any suggestions?

  7. @Lisa – the only thing you can do here is try another version of the font. IE has really crummy rendering, so even fonts that look great in modern browsers may look crappy in IE

    Hey Pippin

    Thank you for the great plugin which I have been using for a few months now while testing a new site, I have just purchased the premium version as you say above it fixed IE9 issues, I am having IE9 issues still. Can you please look at coxongroup.com.au in both FF and IE9 as IE 9 is showing ugly font style. I have tried converting the ttf like you said but still not working or displaying in IE. I have tried another font as well and it still does not display in IE9.

  9. @Ajay – I’m traveling now, so will look when back in the office, but where did you convert the fonts at? I’ve actually found that the converter I linked to in the read me is not very good. Try using the @font-face generator available on Font Squirrel.

  10. Hi i have this enabled on my site – http://www.muscle-munch.com

    I’ve set the font to .otf and it works fine in CHrome/FIrefox. I then adjusted the IE settings to eot for IE and advance IE but its still not displaying them correctly?

    Any ideas?

  11. @Lawrence, it’s probably not working because the font conversion didn’t work very well. Try using the @font-face generator at fontsquirrel.com
