I would like to use a custom font purchased from a foundry type on my Tumblr. The method used by the foundry is @ font-face. I uploaded the files (.eot, .svg, .ttf and .woff) to my server, linked the stylesheet and added the necessary attributes to my css. I have included a hotlink to my Tumblr address from my server. But that didn't work either. Another user here suggested uploading files to Tumblr directly, but I kept getting this error in the console:
(index): 1 Font from source ' http://static.tumblr.com ' was blocked from downloading by Cross-Origin resource sharing policy: No 'The Access-Control-Allow-Origin header is present on the requested resource. The origin of http://mysite.tumblr.com 'is therefore not allowed.
I am not sure how to change Cross Origin settings on my server, and this is not my personal one, so I cannot make such changes.
Anyone with experience using custom fonts in Tumblr can share their best practice tips.
Thank.
