Font not changing

Hey guys same problem as almost everyone else here, the new font is not showing up.. this is my code:

@ font-face {
  font-family: 'Abolition Regular';
    src: url('../fonts/abolition-regular-webfont.eot');
  src: url('../fonts/abolition-regular-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
       url('../fonts/abolition-regular-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
       url('../fonts/abolition-regular-webfont.ttf') format('truetype');
}

Lorenzo,

I'd check a couple of things.

  1. Make sure your path to the font is correct.
  2. Notice there is a space better the @ and the font-face on the first line? There shouldn't be... it's @font-face.

It looks like their is a space between the @ and the font-face I believe this should all be one word @font-face { ... } also check that the font file exists and is in the location identified in the url
