It doesn't work in IE

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Created a test page with two fonts
2. Works fine in modern browsers
3. Doesn't work in IE7, IE8

So I can't get it to work in IE, is there some extra javascript or something 
I need to add for IE?

It seems Microsoft only supports their
"Embedded OpenType (EOT) created by Microsoft's WEFT tool "

Never mind me, apparently the API -should- take care of it. No clue then

Further input on this matter:
For me it works fine in IE8 with the font "Nobile" but not with font "Josefine 
Sans Std Light". Could it be that IE refuses to accept custom fonts with spaces 
in the name?

Additional input:
Spaces do not seem to be the issue.  I tried cantarell, with and without 
variants in IE8 and IE7, without success.

It's IE wide. The font does not load in IE6 either.

The most common reason fonts don't load in IE is because the font name table 
was coded wrong by the font author. That is definitely the case with Josefin. 
The Family Name + the Style Name must = The Full Name. Josephine fails this.

FYI - fontsquirrel.com automatically corrects these problems in their webfonts. 
Here's Josefin: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontfacedemo/Josefin

I just committed a change to Josefin that fixes the name table inconsistency 
described in comment 8, and did testing in IE, so can close this issue now.

Hi - I'm experiencing the same problem rendering in IE8 with a different font 
(Lato) in it's lightest weight.

I'm not sure if the standard weight fonts are okay - but will confirm and add 
another comment once I know.

Is this re-opened? Having the same problem with "Paytone One"

Original comment by fsh...@gmail.com on 1 Feb 2012 at 5:54

The answer to all these fonts not working is to go to 
http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator and follow the directions there 
to re-generate the font files.

this link: 
http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300italic,400italic,400,300,700

 when changing to IE9 it works fine, in IE8 it insists on ignoring all fonts except 400 ... why?
