FontAwesome on windows Phone 8

I am having trouble getting FontAwesome icons to show on Windows Phone 8.

All devices use IE10. Both environments (Dev and QA) use IIS7. It seems that IE10 phone is somehow different from IE10 tablet/desktop in its treatment of downloadable fonts.

Has anyone else experienced this?

It was due to a missing MIME type. I was wrong about both environments using IIS7; The QA server uses IIS6. We added application/x-font-woff to the IIS configuration, and that fixed it.

UPDATE: Add this to your Web.config to associate .woff files with the correct MIME type, so the server will know what to do when such a file is requested:

<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <staticContent>
            <mimeMap fileExtension=".woff" mimeType="application/x-font-woff" />
        </staticContent>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>
