Webkit Fonts

I have bought the licence for fonts for my web site.
Normally I would add a link in the head of my page to the CSS in the webkit directory ( in the site root) .
Call up the font in my css.

This will not work with CMSMS.
I can find lots of chats about legal questions, but nothing about how I can use my "MyFontsWebfontsKit".
Has anyone used such kits please.
Help would be very much appreciated.
The draft of my web is under.

Only the start of index page so far.
Thanks in advance

I don't have a live site working with it but some of the tests I made before worked perfectly and I have a localhost version still working. There shouldn't be any issues, at least AFAIK...

Edit:
it seems more of a path issue (not sure though).
like :"http://www.lackier-und-designstudio.de/ ... 57_3_0.eot" instead of "http://www.lackier-und-designstudio.de/ ... 57_3_0.eot"...
Not sure... just my two cents... :)

Great!
How did you do it?
Just put the link in the head between Literal tags?
Where did you upload the files to?
What ever I try it wont work.

Well I did several ways, as a test since I wasn't much convinced to use it at first. But yeah, basically I used the uploads path. I also tested an external link. All worked as explained on either sites I used (btw: Ijust used free fonts from "http://www.google.com/webfonts" and another site I can't recall at the moment....).

Thanks the fonts are in http://www.lackier-und-designstudio.de/ ... 57_3_0.eot.
The CMSMS installation is under http://www.lackier-und-designstudio.de/web1 until it is finished.
I will try them in uploads.

It should have worked anywhere... ;) Take a look at possible server access errors. It seems to me that the browser wasn't finding the font files. Also it seems you are using absolute paths: I would use relative paths, to make it easier to move the whole site from one directory to another.
Anyway, glad it is solved :D
