I'm using two fonts from typekit:

font-family:"proxima-nova", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; - WORKS OK

and 

font-family:"garamond-premier-pro", Georgia, serif; - DOESN'T DISPLAY

While Proxima Nova loads ok - Garamond Premier Pro fails to load - but only in Chrome and Safari. Firefox and IE display the font ok. The css rule is ok - it even shows up in web inspector - I get no errors in console - typekit script is loaded - still the font won't display - it falls back to georgia.

I tried different solutions I found around (moving typekit script on top of header, disable text-shadow, remove -webkit prefixed rules from css) - nothing helps.

Is this problem font related? I read that webkit browsers have problems with opentype.

Garamond Premier Pro is a commercial product of Adobe. If you have purchased a license that allows web font usage, contact the vendor if the product does not work. Otherwise, don’t try to use it as a web font.

    Shouldn't fonts served by typekit comply to licences by default? Isn't this the point of their service - to provide licensed fonts for web at lower price? – easwee Dec 14 '12 at 10:23
  • If you purchased a licence from Typekit, contact Typekit, but make sure you describe the problem well (a self-contained document that demonstrates the issue plus a list of browsers tested, with version numbers and platforms).

    Got it solved - first I removed all font declarations from css and started adding them back. Still wouldn't work. Then I specified the font by applying all possible font propertis (from size to weight) - once I added `font-style:italic` Garamond finally started working in Chrome - very dumb fix. – easwee Dec 24 '12 at 12:09
