Why can't I use @font-face in my own CSS?
-
I want to use the CSS3 @font-face declaration but the url my CSS gets stripped out. This is a custom font that TypeKit does not offer.
I enter:
@font-face {
font-family:’DeLarge’;
src: url(‘http://example.com/fonts/DeLarge.eot’);
}and the entire ‘src’ line is gone when I view the site.

Beyond the standard fonts in browsers, the only additional fonts available to WordPress.com blogs are those available through TypeKit.

but why? i understand the ease of typekit for many users, but if i know how to write a @font-face declaration, why can’t i use that to point to a font elsewhere on the web?

It’s considered a security issue by our system as it could be used to force corrupt or infected font files on visitors.
We are re-evaluation our security filters, so that might change, but for now TypeKit is the best way to change your fonts.
