Showcard Gothic font won't appear in Firefox. How do I change website code to preload a font for Firefox browsers?
I wrote my websites a few years ago. I found out how to preload unusual fonts in the "common.css" file so that Showcard Gothic would appear for people who don't happen to have that font in their Windows / Fonts directory. I think it's working when Internet Explorer users call up my website... www.retrosportsgames.com. I tried using Firefox for the first time today and that font defaults out to Times Roman. Can I get a link to a PDF that describes how I need to amend my "common.css" file to preload Showcard Gothic?

The problem is a trailing ',' in the @font-face rule.
@font-face {
font-family: Showcard Gothic;
src: url('SHOWG.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('SHOWG.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('SHOWG.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
}
This works for me:
@font-face {
font-family: Showcard Gothic;
src: url('SHOWG.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('SHOWG.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('SHOWG.ttf') format('truetype') /* Safari, Android, iOS */
}
I tried it and it worked for one page in the website (when I entered using the Index page), but not when I entered the site via one of the other pages (the Nostalgia page). Check out www.retrosportsgames.com on a Firefox browser and let me know what you see.
Works for me on www.retrosportsgames.com and www.retrosportsgames.com/Current_Select_Chicago.htm
