I'm trying to render a webpage in Explorer as IE8, since IE9 is doing a great mess with CSS and not showing the @font-face.

I read the Microsoft Documentation here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288325%28v=vs.85%29.aspx and other related topics like IE9 does not at all care about 'X-UA-Compatible' meta tag and Force IE9 to emulate IE8. Possible? and none resolved my issue, either I am very dumb (witch can be) or I can't find the problem.

The webpage is: karactermania.com/web2012/betty and I'm using the CMS Textpattern to build it.

I tried with:

<!-- Enable IE8 Standards mode -->
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />

<!-- Enable IE8 Standards mode -->
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE8" /> (as I found some examples written with and without the "=")

<!--[if IE 9]>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE8" >
<![endif]--> (desperate attempt)

Complete HTML declaration:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="es" xmlns:fb="http://ogp.me/ns/fb#">
<head>

<!-- Enable IE9 Standards mode -->
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE8" />

If anyone can point where the error is and how can I fix it, will earn my eternal gratitude :)

Thanks

I had the same problem as you. My X-UA-Compatible header was ignored. I found the solution in this post

The x-ua-compatible header has to be in the head section, before all other elements except for the title element and other meta elements
