Don't get too excited. As it turns out, I am a complete idiot.
These "embedded" fonts happened to work in Mozilla 0.8 because
I have those same True Type fonts INSTALLED on my system. Urg.
So WEFT does not work with Mozilla. I just have a bad case of
mental fart clouds fouling up my interskuller communications.
I only wish I had worked this out BEFORE posting to the
newsgroup using my real name. :P
FWIW, here's what I was tinkering with:

Well, anyway, embedded fonts are a neat idea that I suppose
will never materialize into an accepted standard, unless you
consider Microsoft standards. Oh well. I'll just stick with
the good ol' classic:
font-family: Verdana, "Lucida Sans", "Myriad Web", Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, Helv,
Syntax, sans-serif;
And hope for the best visual results on font-retarded systems
such as X / *nix. :/
Content is king anyway, right? :)
