The CSS2 doecification doesn't answer this question, just like the
HTML specification doesn't specify a list of image formats. (Unlike
the IMG element in HTML, however, some thinking and review went into
the specification of @font-face and friends :-) We actively encourage
vendors to implement downloadable fonts and expect conventions to be
established.
