There's no way you can get an .eot type file recognized by Netscape. Sadly, Netscape 
newest browsers version 6 and 7, while superior in many ways, does no longer support 
embeddable fonts.   Netscape 4 did, supporting the True Doc format. With the help of 
the Bitsream Font Wizard you could make font definition files of the type .pfr, which 
did the same thing as the .eot file, albeit in another way.   Thus it was only a 
matter of detecting the brrowser and load the proper font definition file.   But 
that's all water under a long gone bridge. The sad fact remains, that only Microsoft 
browsers support embeddable fonts.   What to do, then? In a recent experiment, I used 
an .eot file in Microsoft browsers, and alternative stylesheet for all oter browsers, 
thus:   <script type="text/javascript">
if (!document.all) {
document.write('<style type="text/css">@import url(notie.css);<\/style>')
}
</script>   ... allowing me to select a specfic font for non-microsoft browsers.   I 
explain all this in my article on http://www.webdesign101.dk/fonts/skrifter4.php but 
I'm afraid it's all in Danish.   Hope I've been helpful.   Best Regards   Jørgen 
Jensen http://www.webdesign101.dk

Yet another reason to stay far, far away from Netscape 6, and stick with
4.78.
