Error getting half-glyphons-regular.woff2 on successful AJAX call from jQuery

Question

I get an error stating that jQuery could not find the path to the half-glyphons-regular.woff2. An error occurs when a function is run to successfully request an AJAX. In this function, I inserted a hyperlink that uses the glyphicon from Twitter Bootstrap.

Looking at the path, I am sure that this is the right path, so I do not know why he gave me an error. How can I fix this error?

Answer 1

Using IIS, I fixed it inside the Web.config file by adding the following inside <system.webServer> :

 <staticContent> <remove fileExtension=".woff" /> <remove fileExtension=".woff2" /> <mimeMap fileExtension=".woff" mimeType="application/font-woff" /> <mimeMap fileExtension=".woff2" mimeType="application/font-woff" /> </staticContent> 

Note that first I delete the extensions, if they already exist.

Answer 2

To make it work with IIS Express, you need to add the mime type. In a text editor, open the file in the Documents folder in %UserProfile%\Documents\IISExpress\config\applicationhost.config

Find the line that looks like this:

 <mimeMap fileExtension=".woff" mimeType="font/x-woff" /> 

I would recommend changing it, since the official MIME type has changed, but despite the fact that he just copied this line and added a new one, and change the Extension file to .woff2 in the new one. Here is my modified file (with fixed MIME types)

 <mimeMap fileExtension=".woff" mimeType="application/font-woff" /> <mimeMap fileExtension=".woff2" mimeType="application/font-woff" /> 

Answer 3

If you prefer to work in the IIS GUI or are unsure of the command line or configuration files, follow these steps.

To fix the error while getting half-glyphons-regular.woff2 in IIS, you just need to add the MIME type for woff2 .

• Open IIS and select your server
• In the function view, select MIME Types
• Click Add ... in the Actions panel (upper right corner)
• Enter the .woff2 filename extension
• Enter the MIME type application / font-woff

Also, as palehorse noted, make sure the MIME type for .woff and .woff2 application / font-woff
