@font-face rejected!omg

My custom font style is being cleaned as suspect (too many bytes). I've tried linking it, adding an external sheet, and encoding in base64, but no dice. I know it's a big weight (74kb in base64), but it's only in ttf/woff, so Internet Explorer users won't dl it anyway. And I don't have a banner on the page, which could be vastly huger.

Is there a way to get an exception for fonts? Could I buy more space? Is there a sneaky way round it, does anyone know? It's not an obnoxious font! It's only for the titles... I'm whining here, I realise. *g*

update Answered: the culprit is the font smiley method. Use ordinary Irish method instead.

I don't mean to be rude, but i can't see how this linked discussion is relevant to my question. I'm not saying it doesn't! Just that I can't see it myself. It appears to be a short guide to using @font-face, which is not my problem.

My problem is that the DW custom css field is cleaning my css, ie, not printing it to the page on account of the large numbers of bytes. Am I in the wrong community?
