Font Awesome fonts show up as boxes on IE8
So I am using Font Awesome in a project and in testing I'm running into issues with IE8.
On Windows IE9, Chrome and Firefox show the font properly (As does Firefox, Chrome and Safari on OS X) but IE8 on Windows has a problem where I get a box in place of the font.
My code is:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<!--[if lt IE 7 ]><html class="ie ie6" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7 ]><html class="ie ie7" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8 ]><html class="ie ie8" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if (gte IE 9)|!(IE)]><!--><html lang="en"> <!--<![endif]-->
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Site title</title>
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="https://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
<link href=".../css/css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="../css/print.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print">
<link href="../apple-touch-icon.png" rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed">
<link href="../css/jquery-ui-1.8.23.custom.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="../css/jquery-ui-overrider.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato|Michroma&subset=latin&v2" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="../css/prettify.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="../css/font-awesome.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<!--[if IE 7]>
<link href="../css/font-awesome-ie7.css" rel="stylesheet">
<![endif]-->
I have the four font files...
...where they belong and they are readable by the world (755 permissions). What am I missing? Do I have to do something with compatibility view in IE8?
The same computer views the fonts on the Font Awesome site just fine so it has to be something I'm doing wrong.
As requested, a copy of font-awesome.css is here: font-awesome.css. It is more or less what I downloaded from them with the exception of the path to the font files.
Based on @Abody97 I added https://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js into the mix (Code above has been updated). Still no luck, even after a refresh and a delete cache refresh.
I had the same problem and found a solution, I'll post it here in case anyone still needs it.
The problem was that IE failed to load the font files, it was constructing weird GET requests that returned 404 errors.
Using the trick found here: http://www.fontspring.com/blog/fixing-ie9-font-face-problems I was able to fix the issue.
Add ?#iefix to the eot url in the CSS that contains the font-face (in this case font-awesome.css )
@font-face {
font-family: 'MyWebFont';
src: url('webfont.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('webfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Modern Browsers */
url('webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
url('webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}
This appears to be a really common issue and according to this discussion has to do with the character being attached using :before. I actually found the easiest way to get it working in IE 8 is to not use the fa-name class and insert the character manually.
eg Instead of:
<i class="fa fa-user fa-lg"></i>
use:
<i class="fa fa-lg"></i>
The character codes can be found on the Font Awesome Cheatsheet. This seems to work all the time, no matter what IE version.
Hope this helps someone,
Jason
尝试添加给你的head ，包括CSS之前：
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
