Facing issues while downloading the font for the first time(after clearing cache), post reloading for 2/3 times error is not there and font loaded properly.
Failed to decode downloaded font: /Roboto-Regular-webfont.ttf /Roboto-Bold-webfont.ttf
As per research tried few workarounds but still facing the issue
tried updating the format('woff') to format('font-woff')
tried with absolute url : https://example.com/Roboto-Regular-webfont.ttf
I assume you want to host the font yourself.
The easiest thing to do is to use the google webfonts helper: https://google-webfonts-helper.herokuapp.com/fonts/roboto?subsets=latin
In your case something like this should be sufficient:
/* roboto-regular - latin */
#font-face {
font-family: 'Roboto';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: url('roboto-v27-latin-regular.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: local(''),
url('roboto-v27-latin-regular.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('roboto-v27-latin-regular.woff2') format('woff2'), /* Super Modern Browsers */
url('roboto-v27-latin-regular.woff') format('woff'), /* Modern Browsers */
url('roboto-v27-latin-regular.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
url('roboto-v27-latin-regular.svg#Roboto') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}
You can download the files from the google-webfonts-helper or directly from google fonts.

I am hosting a javascript project on locally and trying to use the local font, but it seem not loaded, here is my style.css code, ipixregular is the font i am trying to use, may I know what might be the problem? and do I need to refere it in html? thanks
#import "#fontsource/press-start-2p/index.css";
#import "#16bits/nes.css/css/nes.min.css";
#font-face {
font-family: 'ipixregular';
src: url('front/ipix-webfont.eot');
src: url('front/ipix-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('front/ipix-webfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('front/ipix-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('front/ipix-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('front/ipix-webfont.svg#ipixregular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
* {
font-family: ipixregular
}
.nes-btn {
font-family: "Press Start 2P";
}
#import loads the font style rules
#font-face loads the font
I do not understand why you have the rule
font-family: "Press Start 2P";
as that is not a valid font family.
You could try
body * {font-family: ipixregular;}
I noticed that you are using "front" instead of "font" in your URLs, to be clear - is this the right folder name? Could simply be a typo.
I.e., from: url('front/ipix-webfont.eot') to: url('font/ipix-webfont.eot')
I have an arbitrary ttf font that I want to use in my web application.
How can I tell which characteristics like "bold", "italic" are available in this font?
Background: I want to avoid that I have to try out all the different settings like:
font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
in order to see which one has an effect on the appearance of the font on my web site.
Let me cut that thought short: that's not how ttf (or in fact, any) font resources work. Bold, Italic, etc are separate "physical" files on your harddisk, and the kind of style toggling you see in Office applications, text editors, etc. come from the OS showing you an abstraction: it only shows you the font family name, rather than the list of individual ttf or otf files, and then shows you style/weight UI controls, which trigger an actual font resource switch from one file to another without you ever noticing.
So: if you have a single ttf file, that file represents only one, specific , font face expression (regular, bold, italic, bold-italic, or even something more detailed based on OpenType metadata properties).
To make things even more fun: if you want to use fonts in CSS, CSS doesn't even care about what a particular font resource is. It completely relies on you to tell it what it is, and you get to lie: CSS will believe you. If you use an #font-face rule you get to say which font file to use for a particular combination of font-* properties, so you're in the driving seat:
#font-face {
font-family: MyFont;
/* CSS has no idea, nor does it care, what this font "really" is */
src: url('myfont-Bold-Italic.ttf') format("truetype");
/* so we tell it this font is applicable to weight:100, or ultra-thin */
font-weight: 100;
/* and we also tell it that this font is applicable in "normal" style */
font-style: normal;
}
And presto, as far as the page styling you just defined, using MyFont with normal style and weight 100 will load whatever ttf resource you said it should use. The CSS engine does not care or even know that the resource you told it to use is "actually" a bold italic expression of the font family. All it knows is that you said this font had to be used for weight:100/style:normal so that's what it's going to use in something like this:
body {
font-family: MyFont, sans-serif /* weight mismatch, so this will probably fall through */
}
h1 {
weight: 100; /* weight/style match: this will use myfont-Bold-Italic.ttf! */
}
2019 edit
OpenType introduced font variations (FVAR) which allows a single font to encode an infinite spectrum of variable vector graphics, which means that if the browser you're targeting supports FVAR OpenType, you can now load a single font as your #font-face instruction, with a new format string that indicates it's variable, and instead in your normal CSS indicate which specific variation you need by specifying the font-variation-settings property:
#font-face {
font-family: MyFont;
src: url('myfont-Bold-Italic.ttf') format("truetype-variation");
/* no weight or style information here anymore */
}
body {
font-family: MyFont;
font-variation-settings: 'wght' 435;
}
h1 {
font-variation-settings: 'wght' 116;
}
While "plain" CSS only supports 9 font weights (100 through 900 in steps of 100), variations can use values from 1 to 1000 in steps of 1.
Each and every font (if weights available) comes in a separate true type format file for each and every weight of the font.
e.g.
Roboto.ttf
Roboto-Italic.ttf
Roboto-Bold.ttf
Therefore, you need to specify which is which in Your CSS file like so:
#font-face {
font-family: 'Roboto';
font-weight: normal;
url('fonts/Roboto.ttf') format('truetype')/*ttf*/;
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'Roboto';
font-weight: bold;
url('fonts/Roboto-Bold.ttf') format('truetype')/*ttf*/;
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'Roboto';
font-weight: lighter;
font-style: italic;
url('fonts/Roboto-Italic.ttf') format('truetype')/*ttf*/;
}
In your case, you can view the particular file directly by clicking on it twice in the Windows/MacOS/Linux explorers.
If you want to use a third-party software solution, I suggest that you give opentype.js a look.
I'm using a custom font (Mank Sans) for a website and it should look like that:
http://i.imgur.com/llwuwRn.png
(Google Chrome, correct behaviour)
However, when using Safari, it displays weirdly:
http://i.imgur.com/3QJA87w.png
How can i fix this problem ?
Thanks.
Edit: Here how i'm including my custom font:
#font-face {
font-family:'MankSans';
src: url('#{$font-path}/MankSans.ttf') format('truetype');
font-weight: 400;
font-style: normal;
font-stretch: normal;
unicode-range: U+000D-25CA;
}
Try something with this:
letter-spacing: 2px;
Not sure how it would look in chrome though. If it does look weird try detecting safari and then setting the letter-spacing.
var isSafari = /Safari/.test(navigator.userAgent) && /AppleComputer/.test(navigator.vendor);
if(isSafari) {
//set letter spacing using jQuery or JS DOM
}
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_text_letter-spacing.asp
Looking at a few other options as you mentioned my previous didn't work.
Option A:
Font-format could be wrong. .ttf is the standard for Safari and Android devices. You can check the details in this question: Safari font rendering issues
Option B:
This answer to the question above has a few more options incase it's a text-rendering issue: https://stackoverflow.com/a/31218373/4314753
Option C:
A few people have said that there is a problem with safari's rendering and what fixed their problems was to define the font-weight: font-weight: 400
Option D:
If it ultimately is a rendering issue and can't find another solution, a hack could be to have an image replace the text even if it isn't as friendly as it could be.
I'm adding font style with css using the #font-face with 4 different formats relatively
#font-face {
font-family: "font_name";
src: url("font_name.eot");
src: local("☺"),
url("font_name.woff") format("woff"),
url("font_name.otf") format("opentype"),
url("font_name.svg#font_name") format("svg");
}
And it works just fine, however if I disable JS, the font is gone and in the console it says: "downloadable font: download failed...".
This happens(from the console) for the .woff and .otf and I don't understand why. How is JS related to this sort of css code?
I am using Sansation as custom font, and it shows fine when I upload my site, but when I debug locally, it ain't showing:
Default.css:
/* #region Fonts */
#font-face {
font-family: "Sansation Regular";
src: url("/Fonts/Sansation_Regular.eot?") format("eot"), url("/Fonts/Sansation_Regular.woff") format("woff"), url("/Fonts/Sansation_Regular.ttf") format("truetype"), url("/Fonts/Sansation_Regular.svg#SansationRegular") format("svg");
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
/* #endregion */
body {
font-family: "Sansation Regular";
}
The Fonts are located in:
root:
-Shared:
---Assets:
------CSS:
---------Default.css
------Fonts:
---------Sansation_Regular.xxx
How can I get the fonts to show locally too?
If you are on, e.g. http://foo.com/bar/hello.html, and you encounter a URI with the form /Fonts/world.ttf, it refers to the URL http://foo.com/Fonts/world.ttf.
From your data structure, it looks like the URI to point to your font should have the form /Shared/Assets/Fonts/world.ttf to result in a URL like http://foo.com/Shared/Assets/Fonts/world.ttf
If you open up your developer console and look at network activity, you should see the wrong path in attempted/failing resource loads.
