fonts not rendering in ie 10 or 11

Question

My site: http://arethebaronsplaying.com/

isn't rendering fonts correctly in IE 10 or IE 11. Here's my css:

@font-face {
font-family: 'Mono Social Icons Font';
src: asset_url('fonts/MonoSocialIconsFont-1.10.eot');
src: asset_url('fonts/MonoSocialIconsFont-1.10.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
     asset_url('fonts/MonoSocialIconsFont-1.10.woff') format('woff'),
     asset_url('fonts/MonoSocialIconsFont-1.10.ttf') format('truetype'),
     asset_url('fonts/MonoSocialIconsFont-1.10.svg#MonoSocialIconsFont') format('svg');
src: asset_url('fonts/MonoSocialIconsFont-1.10.ttf') format('truetype');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}

@font-face {
  font-family: 'hamilton18';
  src: asset_url('fonts/hamilton_wood_type_foundry_-_hwtunitgothic-718-webfont.eot');
  src: asset_url('fonts/hamilton_wood_type_foundry_-_hwtunitgothic-718-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
   asset_url('fonts/hamilton_wood_type_foundry_-_hwtunitgothic-718-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
   asset_url('fonts/hamilton_wood_type_foundry_-_hwtunitgothic-718-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
   asset_url('fonts/hamilton_wood_type_foundry_-_hwtunitgothic-718-webfont.svg#MonoSocialIconsFont') format('svg');
  src: asset_url('fonts/hamilton_wood_type_foundry_-_hwtunitgothic-718-webfont.ttf') format('truetype');
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
}

Everything looks great in chrome/safari/firefox. Any ideas?

Looking at the console in IE of your website, there appear following error -

"CSS3114: @font-face failed OpenType embedding permission check. Permission must be Installable."

On web, these are the two links which talk about this issue and common solution: https://github.com/tapquo/lungo.icon/issues/1 and http://codecanyon.net/forums/thread/css3114-fontface-failed-opentype-embedding-permission-check-permission-must-be-installable/78963

However the talked tool seems available only for older version of windows and not for latest version of windows.

To solve this problem just add -ms-font-feature-settings:"liga" 1; to your css

for example:

.social .icon {
  -ms-font-feature-settings:"liga" 1;
  font-family:'Mono Social Icons Font';
  -webkit-text-rendering:optimizeLegibility;
  -moz-text-rendering:optimizeLegibility;
  -ms-text-rendering:optimizeLegibility;
  -o-text-rendering:optimizeLegibility;
  text-rendering:optimizeLegibility;
  -webkit-font-smoothing:antialiased;
  -moz-font-smoothing:antialiased;
  -ms-font-smoothing:antialiased;
  -o-font-smoothing:antialiased;
  font-smoothing:antialiased;
}
