Hi,
I am trying to embed a font into a page and it seems to work just fine on all browsers except Firefox on both Mac and PC. When I host the font on the same domain, it works fine but if I host the fonts on another domain, it will not load the fonts. Has anyone encountered a similar problem and know of any solution? Thanks!

What technique are you using? @font-face?
>When I host the font on the same domain, it works fine
OK, so host it on the same domain. Problem with that?
Yes, I'm using @font-face.
Hosting on the same domain isn't really an option in this case. Believe me, I wouldn't be trying to make this work if I could do that.
Fair enough. This was a page I came across a while ago when experimenting with ff on FF! There's a section on 'local' keyword. Don't know if this will help.
Thanks, appreciate the resource.
It's a security violation. Firefox has a setting to keep pages from redirecting to harmful sites.
I'm curious how typekit.com gets around that. Because you include some javascript that pulls fonts from their server.
It ain't free :(
Oh I know its not free, but I was just wondering from a technical perspective. Obviously its possible since they do it.
Sorry, started pressing the wrong buttons and stuff. Have a look at this page. Claims to have a cross-domain solution for FF.

Cool, this looks like it could work. Thanks!
can be done with a special htaccess file. google it.
