One the three EOT-Lite validation steps are performed (magic number, version number, flags), the font will load and be used in *precisely* the same way a raw TTF/OTF font will load and be used. You can view and judge for yourself, here is a prototype implementation of EOT-Lite and ZOT support: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=507970 There is no way here for the code to "accidentally" load a non-EOT-Lite font. P.S. Two g's and two t's please. The old English spelling of the name is Doggett, also with two g's and two t's.
