I have tested it in Arora (Qt 4.5) and Midori (WebKitGtk 1.1.8) and both 
work, so Safari is not the only browser. I suspect it is also supported 
in Konqueror (KHTML) - and a quick Google seems to confirm that it does. 
These are released software, not betas.

It should be supported in the 3.6a1pre nightlies, and it is working in 
the current Opera 10 beta (however, it still does not support SVG fonts).

Whenever the next major version of Firefox after 3.5 is released, and 
whenever Opera 10 final is released. I can not tell you when that will be.
