Just a quick solution for a problem that seems to be @font-face not functioning at all. You define the @font-face CSS rule, you then add a font-family CSS rule for your element and nothing seems to be happening. The element has the correct family when you look in the browser inspection tool, but the font is never loaded. Nor is it displayed. What could be wrong?

The simple answer in my case is that the element I wanted to style had a rule like this: font-family: 'My Special Font, Verdana, Arial';. The correct rule should have been font-family: 'My Special Font', Verdana, Arial;. The quotes are just for escaping spaces and the like for the individual family names, not for encapsulating the "value" of the css rule. I know, stupid, but I wasted half an hour on it!
