Looks crappy in every version of Internet Explorer, 6 through 9. Is it shocking that IE doesn't place nicely? https://ten7.litmus.com/pub/adfdb99

On Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421 64-bit, on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit: http://cl.ly/DhzK

And icons: http://cl.ly/Dhua

Oh, and in Safari there are no icons.

I use Safari as my main browser, and it displayed the icons correctly. (Or I probably wouldn't've posted it, since I only found it and didn't make it!)

Just checked it myself, looks like it's missing on OS X Lion. Are you on Windows?

Sorry, I really screwed up with that one. Totally typo'd that one.

They show up just fine in Safari on OS X Lion here.

Sorry, I screwed up. Yes, it looks ok on OS X, that's what I'm on. Looks like it's missing on Safari but that could just be a time to load thing? Not sure: https://ten7.litmus.com/pub/adfdb99/results#saf4m-full

Screenshots in Safari just captured the FOUT (http://paulirish.com/2009/fighting-the-font-face-fout/). Not sure I'm totally convinced about those IE8 + IE9 screenshots - I've tested those and 9 is pretty good, 8 is a bit lame and anything below 8 is appalling. What version of Windows was that?

It really takes the fun out of a project like this to make it not die in IE.

I just looked at in on a Win7 VirtualBox machine running IE 8 and it looked like the Litmus screenshot. I am convinced it looked bad, not surprised, but certainly sad :(
