@font-face not working with Internet Explorer + HTTPS + Header Cache-Control / Pragma

[gamba]

Here a bizarre IE bug, so no change in styleguide is needed, nevertheless it would be good to mention it in the documentation.

If IE loads a page over HTTPS with Cache-Control or Pragma headers set, then @font-face will not work (and make IE skip Frutiger and fall back to a default choice).

Disabling cache control on fonts is the simplest way I found to let Frutiger load correctly on HTTPS apps:

<FilesMatch "\.(eot|otf|woff|ttf)$">
   Header unset Cache-Control
   Header unset Pragma
</FilesMatch>

Here i found something on a m$ website:

Thanks, we'll add this notice to the README file in the next update.
