Font-face not working in IE, otf font

I know this has been asked several times, but I couldn't get it to work after trying them. This is the simple CSS I am using to import a custom font. Also, I am using this with download.

@font-face {
    font-family: Montserrat-Black;
    src: url(Montserrat-Black.otf);
}

It doesn't work in IE11. Please help me. Thank.

The Internet Explorer uses the eot (legacy) or woff format. See MSDN

Anyway, I use this code for maximum compatibility:



@font-face {
  font-family: 'MyWebFont';
  src: url('webfont.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
  src: url('webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
       url('webfont.woff2') format('woff2'), /* Super Modern Browsers */
       url('webfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Pretty Modern Browsers */
       url('webfont.ttf')  format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
       url('webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}

Try using the file format .eot

for Internet Explorer. Something like:



@font-face {
    font-family: Montserrat-Black;
    src: url('Montserrat-Black.eot');
    src: url('Montserrat-Black.otf');
}

IE11: If you get error code CSS3114

in dev tools, you need to change the first bits of the font file. This will allow IE to install the font.

Npm module: You can use the ttembed-js

npm module , which will make the changes for you. https://www.npmjs.com/package/ttembed-js

Using: ttembed-js path/to/Montserrat-Black.otf

If you are having this problem and your application is running on IIS, try adding the correct MIME types to your web.config as SO-user Martin Buber explained in this comment

Since this question was the first hit in my search, let me suggest the solution I found:

Paul Irish Bulletproof @ font-face Syntax

Or just use the generator at FontSquirrel.com http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator. They also provide a "single CSS syntax to control them all" in the set of fonts they create.
