You DON'T want cross-domain references to these fonts to work in IE, but they would, unless the author implements Referer checking. So the author has to implement Referer checking, which is a big pain. Rob -- "He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all." [Isaiah 53:5-6]
