My earlier tests still function in the Siliverlight 2 Beta 2.0.30226.2.
See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-css-wg/2007OctDec/0329 (W3C 
member-only). The one change I am aware is that you should now be able
to download fonts from third-party sites if you use some policy files,
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-appformats/2008Apr/0073.html
(which I haven't tested, but would seem to be implied by the FontSource
constructor taking a Stream and being able to get cross-site Streams).
