How to link to a .woff font file in html document
I have a problem with a font I installed on my computer that I want to apply to HTML5 / CSS3.
How my question differs from its possible duplicate: it explicitely asks what to put in the .html file, a question that was unaddressed in the duplicate question.
Update after problem solved:
1) The <link href=....> line must NOT be included in the .html file
2) The .woff font file must be in the same directory as the .css file.
This is my minimal working CSS:
@font-face{
font-family: Reef;
src: local('../Fonts/Reef/reef-webfont.woff'), url('../Fonts/Reef/reef-webfont.woff') format('woff');
}
body, h1, h2{
text-align:center;
font-family: 'Reef', monospace;
}
And this is my minimal working HTML file:
<html>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/
libs/jquery/1.4.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"></script>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="bootstrap.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="stylesGrilcheeserie.css" type="text/css"/>
<link href='../Fonts/Reef/reef-webfont.woff' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<title> Grilcheeserie </title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>La Grilcheeserie</h1>
</body>
</html>
Whatever I do, my page appears with its backup font, monospace, not Reef.
My question is: how do I correctly reference the font source in the html? As far as I can tell from searching answers, my css is supposed to be right.
I'm using Firefox on Windows 10.

<link href='../Fonts/Reef/reef-webfont.woff' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
you cannot reference a font like this.
@font-face{
font-family: Reef;
src: url('reef-webfont.woff'), url('reef-webfont.woff') format('woff');}
put your fonts in the same directory where this style file is located
