CSS font links 502

Since yesterday a large number of people cannot render fonts correctly.

Looking into it, everyone with the issue was linking to fonts hosted in Google Drive or DropBox.

Example code below:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'TradeGothicLTStd-Regular';
    src: url('https://www.dropbox.com/s/lwzc1rcgziyyl9e/trade-gothic-lt-std-5914a7ed793fe.ttf?dl=1') format('truetype');
    font-weight: 200;
    font-style: normal;
}


The link to the font file resolves fine and works everywhere else, however PDFCrowd seems to time out on it.
As noted, this worked fine until yesterday.


Thanks

Hello,

The problem with the font is that it is non-cacheable and our converter does not work with such fonts. The HTTP response contains these headers:
Cache-Control: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache

If possible, you can try to change it to
Cache-Control: max-age=120960
