I use Montserrat font on my website, but it doesn't display on IE11 (windows 7). I put this other question some days ago: Montserrat font isn't displayed on IE 10 and 11

Now i am trying to add Montserrat google font throught the css but it doesn't seems to work. This is my code:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'Montserrat';
    src: url('assets/fonts/montserrat-regular-webfont.eot');
    src: url('assets/fonts/montserrat-regular-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
         url('assets/fonts/montserrat-regular-webfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
         url('assets/fonts/montserrat-regular-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
         url('assets/fonts/montserrat-regular-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
         url('assets/fonts/montserrat-regular-webfont.svg#montserratregular') format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;

}

Use:

@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat:400,700);

To call it inside your stylesheet and:

font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif;

To make something that font..

From google fonts: "Note: For best display in IE, make the stylesheet tag the first element in the HTML section. In IE, if the link is placed after tags, the entire page will block and not display anything until the font is loaded."

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat:400,700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

If that does not work, try this: https://developers.google.com/fonts/docs/webfont_loader#Example

This will make every browser "behave like Firefox".
