The developer behind the FontSquirel @font-face generator did come up with a 
new syntax for  @font-face, one that is cleaner while avoiding the 404 errors 
that can happen due to bugs in IE < 9.

What Is not clear to me, atm, is if IE 9 uses the .eot font with this 
technique, or if it uses the .woff file. I made a quick test page: if it uses 
the eot file, the text snippet will display in a condensed sans-serif face, 
otherwise the text snippet should display with a serif face (same as Firefox, 
Chrome or Safari).
test url:

Can anyone test with IE 9 (preferred: the recently released IE 9 RC) ?
(I can't test, no suitable OS available…)
