Can someone please help me figure out why icon fonts are not displaying on IE10?

I've been working on this website www.oscor.ajvelasquez.com in wordpress with bootstrap and when I look at the website in IE10 the icon fonts used in the front page and through out the site do not display in IE10, the display in IE8, IE9 and IE11.

Any insights into the solution is greatly appreciated!

Hey,

Have you tried disabling the "protected mode" option in IE10? I read a while back that it prevents the browser to download fonts.

Here is a support article from MS that will walk you through on how to enable/disable that feature/option.

And here's a question posted on stackoverflow about the same issue you are having.

I hope this helps! Cheers!

Edward thank you for your response, I actually ran into those articles when I was first trying to resolve the issue; however, when I disabled "protected mode" nothing happened. Another thing that I did was I look at the website on IE10 on Browserstack and the icons where visible, so now I'm thinking that the problem is not IE10 is the IE10 at the company where I'm looking at the the website.

No problem Andres. And yeah, maybe your IT admin put some sort of restriction that prevents the browser from downloading web fonts just like how they can prevent it from downloading and running Javascript.
