font-face declarations with relative urls are broken

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Include IE8.js on a page with Typekit enabled
2. Browse to the url in IE6 and notice that fonts load and then are replaced 
with their fallback fonts (make sure the cache is cleared)

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

Use fiddler to see that it makes an invalid request for the font file on the 
site's hosted domain.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
HEAD ie7js, Windows XP IE6

Please provide any additional information below.

This is incorrect, it will break all relative urls in the font-family 
definition:

Also here is an example of it in the wild:

Another easy to reproduce example is to use one of google's web fonts via the 
API call, e.g.
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Reenie+Beanie' 
rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
The resulting CSS code uses absolute URLs, so the problem is not limited to 
relative ons.

IEx.js goes on to kill the (at first) successful font declaration.

Ah, sorry, my comment above is not entirely correct:
It works fine if the font is loaded via the <link> tag as in my comment.

However, loading the exact same stylesheet via an @include(URL)  rule from 
another CSS file leads to the successful font declaration being overwritten by 
at least 
IE8.js and IE9.js: I can see the correct font flash for a moment before it is 
gone 
again.

I'm having the same problem, using IE9.js. I tried the solution posted over at 
the Typekit issue tracker but couldn't get it to work with IE9.js. Looking for 
a solution to use IE9.js and Typekit on the same page.

I can confirm this issue still exists...

I have a similar problem here. IE8 & 7 crashes when the font-face is in the 
css. When I remove the property, the page works as usual. :(

I confirm this issue also.

Here is the fix what I did:

<!--[if !IE]> -->
        <style>
        @font-face { 
          font-family: "rokkit";
          src: url("../fonts/Rokkitt-Regular.ttf"); 
          format("truetype"); 
        }

        @font-face { 
          font-family: "rokkitbold";
          src: url("../fonts/Rokkitt-Bold.ttf"); 
          format("truetype"); 
        }

        @font-face { 
          font-family: "opensans";
          src: url("../fonts/OpenSans-Regular.ttf"); 
          format("truetype"); 
        }
        </style>
        <!-- <![endif]-->

I'm having this issue with IE9.js also, and I can't find a solution for that 
version. I was given one for IE7.js, but that doesn't help me.

on the source code (2.1beta4, IE9.js):
Commenting the lines from 943 to 946 apparently fixes the problem.

    /*this.cssText = cssText.replace(/@charset[^;]+;|@font\-face[^\}]+\}/g, function(match) {
      declarations += match + "\n";
      return "";
    });*/

      // fix for typekit 
      if(styleSheets[i].href.indexOf('typekit') >= 0) {
        return;
      }

Using IE9.js 2.1beta4, inserting this code after line 779 worked for me:

      // fix for typekit 
      if(styleSheets[i].href.indexOf('typekit') >= 0) {
        return;
      }
