Web Font for CSS Not Working

I'm trying to load this font that I found. I have the files in my "font" folder and have included the below in my CSS but it wont load. I am also using Bootstrap. Any thoughts why?

@font-face {
            font-family: 'Chevin-Light';
            src:url("../font/chevinstd-light-webfont.eot");
            src: url("../font/chevinstd-light-webfont.woff") format("woff"), url("../font/chevinstd-light-webfont.ttf") format("truetype"), url("../font/chevinstd-light-webfont.svg#Chevin") format("svg");
        }
.chevin_light { font-family:'Chevin-Light',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:32px; }

Try this out.

@font-face { 
    font-family: 'Chevin-Light';
            src: url('../font/chevinstd-light-webfont.eot');
                        src: url('../font/chevinstd-light-webfont.eot') format ('embedded-opentype'),
                               url('../font/chevinstd-light-webfont.woff') format ('woff'), 
                   url('../font/chevinstd-light-webfont.ttf') format ('truetype'), 
                   url('../font/chevinstd-light-webfont.svg#Chevin') format ('svg');
        }
        .chevin_light { 
        font-family:'Chevin-Light',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; 
        font-size:32px; 
        }

Thanks, Ryan. I think the issue in the end was that I have the link tags for my CSS styling before my bootstrap link.
