Serving contain to sub domains from an MVC / IIS web application

I am hosting the blog for my site on tumblr:

blog.withoomph.com

I have modified the theme on the blog and I want to use my own fonts that I use on our main site. I am trying to get the fonts from:

beta.withoomph.com

However, when the page tries to fetch the fonts I am getting a CORS error. This only started hapenning recently, as they use to be fetched with no issues.

Is there a way I can set either IIS or my MVC app to service these fonts to sub domains?

Edit

Sorry, I should know better than that. Here is some more information:

This is the CSS to fetch the urls:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'avantgarde';
    src: url('http://beta.withoomph.com/content/fonts/avant_garde.eot');
    src: url('http://beta.withoomph.com/content/fonts/avant_garde.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
         url('http://beta.withoomph.com/content/fonts/avant_garde.woff') format('woff'),
         url('http://beta.withoomph.com/content/fonts/avant_garde.ttf') format('truetype'),
         url('http://beta.withoomph.com/content/fonts/avant_garde.svg#avantgarde_bk_btdemi') format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
}

And this is the error in dev console when it tries to fetch the fonts:

Font from origin 'http://beta.withoomph.com' has been blocked from loading by Cross-Origin Resource Sharing policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://blog.withoomph.com' is therefore not allowed access.

For security reasons browsers prohibit calls to resources residing outside the current origin so you have to enable Cross-Origin Resource Sharing. add this to web.config.

<configuration>
 <system.webServer>
   <httpProtocol>
     <customHeaders>
       <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="*" />
     </customHeaders>
   </httpProtocol>
 </system.webServer>
</configuration>
