title: Font Awesome not appearing in Internet Explorer 8
body: <p>We have recently developed a website with a strong reliance on Font Awesome as part of it's design. We're using the standard implementation with before:content and their supplied CSS.</p>
  
  <p>For some reason Font Awesome isn't displaying in IE8. I've spent quite a few hours troubleshooting and trying various fixes, with no luck.</p>
  
  <p>I have:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Set the mimetype of EOT to application/vnd.ms-fontobject</li>
  <li>Set the mimetype of OTF, TTF to application/octet-stream</li>
  <li>Executed HTML5Shiv after all CSS has been loaded.</li>
  <li>Various attempts to reload the CSS or DOM on page load</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Here is the website: <a href="http://www.tetakere.org.nz" rel="noreferrer">http://www.tetakere.org.nz</a> - the Hotlinks box is a good example of Font Awesome</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone got any ideas on other approaches to getting this website to display Font Awesome?</p>
