Arvowon't load normal weight in IE #57

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open IE9
2. Go to font previewer
3. Select "Arvo" font (regular variant should be selected)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

- Expect to see normal font weight variant of "Arvo"

- Instead, Arvo Regular and Arvo Italic appear as Arvo Bold and Arvo Bold 
Italic, respectively.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

IE9: Windows 7

Please provide any additional information below.
Seems fine with chrome, safari, mozilla
Have not tested on older versions of IE, but perhaps this is an .EOT issue?

I have also had this problem

In addition to the steps listed here I also tried specifying the single weight 
of the Arvo font like:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Arvo:400&v2' 
rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

which unfortunately did not work.

Also tried setting my font weight to 400 in the CSS but again no success. Would 
really like to use this font as Rokkitt, which I think is closest to it, is not 
as clean rendering.

I ended up working around this problem with IE specific CSS that loads a 
different font set.  Not ideal, but it works.
