Using the google webfont loader the font shows in IE9, but when I declare at DOCtype at the start 

 <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

also

!DOCTYPE html breaks it

the font no longer loads. Leaving it out breaks the auto margins. Nothing so far as worked.

<!DOCTYPE HTML> is all I ever use anymore. It loads the fonts just fine for me.

Should it fail, add this meta tag:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />

And should that also fail, check the F12 Developer Tools console for error messages.

  • Thank you, F12 gave the answer. The fonts couldn't be loaded in IE 9 when I ran the site locally on the machine. It worked on upload. – OrigamiEye May 11 '12 at 01:22
