Hello,  
I just started converting a website to Wordpress. Everything is ok till now except my custom font is not been found/rendered. 404! whereas it displays correctly in the non wp version of the site.  
Inspecting the element I see

\*[http://dune-studios.local/fonts/HelveticaNeue-Roman.woff](http://dune-studios.local/fonts/HelveticaNeue-Roman.woff)  
I noticed that the request URL is heading to an absolute address to instead of looking for the resource in a relative directory… I guess that is why it is not been founded. My style file the @font-face url is correctly set to the relative path.

Why is PG WP giving that address?  
I made sure the style.css file is been uploaded in the wp setting page.

Anyone any hint?  
Thanks

So I needed to move my font inside my css folder.  
" Assuming your **style.css** is located in a css folder located at the root of the theme, fonts could be a subfolder of that." Otherwise if you place the font in a different subfolder outside the css folder WP won’t get to it.

Glad the problem is solved 🙂

I add that the problem is/was related to the use of **@font-face** in a CSS file and the location of the font file. Knowing that / at the start means that its looking for the font in the webroot.

Assuming your **style.css** is located in a css folder located at the root of the theme, fonts could be a subfolder of that.

Here is the illustration of the problem solved.
