Bummer!!!
I've made that mistake before.... heheh... several
times actually, arrrgh. It wasn't so funny at the
time though :)
Your WEFT tests look great in IE. Too bad Mozilla
doesn't support this (yet?). Anyone know if it's
coming soon?
I've not heard of any standardized format for
downloadable fonts, but the W3C certainly makes
provision for our use of downloadable fonts in
@font-face... one can specify the URL and format of
any font resource we want a browser to use (for
browsers that can deal with it).
Content is king of course, but somehow, I know the
king doesn't like to wear the same clothes every day
:)

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:

http://www.mid-tn.com/fonts/style.css
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? :)
Cheers,
-Josh
