Loading webfonts via ResourceLoader causes White Screen of Death in IE 6,7,8

Jump to: navigation, search

Loading my webfonts CSS file - a file which contains only the @font-face statements for the webfonts - via ResourceLoader causes a WSOD (invisible content, links can be clicked but nothing is visible and text cannot be selected) in all versions of IE I can test (6,7,8). Changing it to be loaded via addStyle() (and thus not minified) solves the problem.

I'm experiencing this on http://practicalplants.org

Any ideas why? Is it a known issue? Is there any debugging I can do to see if this is a bug that needs reporting?

Thanks Andru
