For IE you need to use .eot font format, so you need to convert your ttf file to eot, with a converter like http://www.fontsquirrel.com/ webfont generator.

For Cross-browser compatibility use all the font formats not just ttf.

@font-face {
    font-family: 'Some Font';
    src: url('fonts/some-font.eot');
    src: url('fonts/some-font.eot?#iefix') format('eot'),
         url('fonts/some-font.woff') format('woff'),
         url('fonts/some-font.ttf') format('truetype'),
         url('fonts/some-font.svg') format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
}

And for some Chrome font rendering issue, the best solution is to put the svg format at the first position, because in that case the you get the best font rendering result.

Thanks again Zoltan. I'll give this a go.

When I downloaded the two fonts used on the site, they only came with a .TTF file. Usually they come with more than that on fontsquirrell I didn't know I could convert it to the other formats.
