Hello, we are working on an icon font that will have an ultimate collection of glyphs and will be available for free (you can see the preview at http://logotwist.com )
We think that the easiest way to use it is through ligatures and not through elaborate CSS just like many other projects do. The problem is that it doesn't seem that the ligatures do not seem to work in Internet Explorer. They do work just fine in Chrome, Firefox and Safari, but not in IE.
That is a shame, since it is Microsoft who was the first to use @font-face but for some reason they forget that fonts may have ligatures. Or maybe I am mistaken and I hope I am mistaken and there is some magic way to make them work. I would be very grateful for any advice on this subject. Or if there is no direct solution, maybe you know some workaround. Thank you for any information in advance!
