Blank page in Internet Explorer 10

In short, if you have IE10, and you have a Type1 Helvetica installed, in case CSS load Helvetica before Arial, your IE10 will show you a blank page, with some misleading “compatibility issues” prompt.

Microsoft is aware of this issue of Type1 incompatibility since IE9 but has shown little intention to resolve it.

But now at least you know why. A simple resolution would be to remove the Type1 Helvetica font and bounce the machine, and you may want to find some other versions (TTF or OTF) of the font.
