Fonts do not load correctly in IE8

Navigation
3

I'm using both fonts in a site: 

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu:300' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:100,300,400,700,900,100italic,300italic,400italic,700italic,900italic' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

They open correctly in all browsers, but in IE8 it does not. Is there any fix for this? Or do I have to download the fonts and use @font-face ?

Try putting each font style on a separate link: 

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu:300' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:100' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:300' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<!-- ... -->
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:900italic' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

To avoid so many links in browsers that do not have this problem, use conditional comments: 

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu:300' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<!--[if (!IE)|(gt IE 8)]>
    <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:100,300,400,700,900,100italic,300italic,400italic,700italic,900italic' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>    
<![endif]-->
<!--[if lte IE 8]>
    <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:100' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
    <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:300' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
    <!-- ... -->
    <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:900italic' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<![endif]-->
