As soon as Firefox 3.5 and Opera 10 are released and displace their predecessors, there will be universal support for @font-face if and only if you're willing to serve both EOT (for IE) and raw OTF or TTF (for everyone else). So, there will be soon. A year, or two years, or something like that. As for the rest . . . well, clearly getting a format everyone can agree on would be nice. I think that's the key thing. Discussion always seems to veer off into *why* various vendors have various requirements, rather than *what* those requirements are and what formats might satisfy everyone. Which is a shame, because it means nothing gets done. I suggested in my first post to this thread not to argue about what features would be ideal, because nobody's going to agree on that (as opposed to agreeing on what features would be acceptable sacrifices, for the sake of getting a single format). But I seem to have forgotten that myself.
