I am working on a website that requires me to use HelveticaNeueLite font-family. I have separate css files for ie and other browsers. My css code for ie is as follows

@font-face {
font-family: HelveticaNeueLite;
src: url("/system/fonts/HelveticaNeueLTStd-UltLt_0.eot?#iefix") format('embedded-opentype');
}

enter image description here

But I keep getting the above error in ie-9. I don't know what's going wrong. I donot have reference of any .otf font in my css file for ie. I had used HelveticaNeueLTStd-UltLt_0.otf file to generate HelveticaNeueLTStd-UltLt_0.ttf through http://www.freefontconverter.com/ and used HelveticaNeueLTStd-UltLt_0.ttf to generate HelveticaNeueLTStd-UltLt_0.eot through http://www.kirsle.net/wizards/ttf2eot.cgi

Instead of .eot I used .woff font, and it worked in IE-9.

@font-face {
font-family: HelveticaNeueLite;
src: url('/system/fonts/HelveticaNeueLTStd-UltLt_0.woff') format("woff");
}

But I still I get the following error:

  • `.eot` means [Embedded OpenType](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_OpenType) – Jørgen R Feb 27 '13 at 13:02
  • Have you tried the FontSquirrel tool? http://www.fontsquirrel.com/tools/webfont-generator – BenM Feb 27 '13 at 13:03

  • @BenM: I used fontsquirrel. I got a message saying `Adobe has requested that their font Helvetica Neue LT Std 25 Ultra Light be blacklisted by Generator. You will not be able to convert this font.` What does it mean? – Sunil Nadar Feb 27 '13 at 13:48
  • Then you shouldn't use it with @font-face then! – BenM Feb 27 '13 at 13:49
  • @BenM : But `@font-face { font-family: HelveticaNeueLite; src: url("/system/fonts/HelveticaNeueLTStd-UltLt_0.otf") format('opentype'); }`, worked with other browsers – Sunil Nadar Feb 27 '13 at 13:51

    I know that, but you need to verify that the font is actually allowed for use with @font-face. That's my point. It's like using a copyrighted image. – BenM Feb 27 '13 at 13:52
  • @BenM : Thanx for your comment. I'll use another font family then. – Sunil Nadar Feb 27 '13 at 13:54

    Hi, we decided to **ban** HelveticaNeue and all those Helvetica[neue] font sets. Too buggy and heavy. Unabled to render those fonts correctly. – Milche Patern Feb 27 '13 at 15:59
