@font face does not work with IE...What do you mean "supported it"? Is  
there a 3rd party downloadable plugin somewhere so it will work? @font face 
does  not work with MSIE 6 or MSIE 7 or MSIE 8. Maybe it will be in MSIE 9?
 
>I have tested it in Arora (Qt 4.5) and Midori (WebKitGtk  1.1.8)...
 
I've never heard of these browsers...They do not appear on the lists of  
popular browsers. Great that they work though. 
 
>I suspect it is also supported in Konqueror (KHTML) 
 
Last year, that browser had 0.01% of the market. Now, it has lost  
ground...less than 0.01%.

Since it does work with Safari & the Mac is popular in the design  
community, maybe some Mac web designers creating Apple oriented sites will  start

feature, many people use older browser versions. For the current May/June 2009, 
 the top three browsers are:

#1 MSIE 7 (40%)
#2 Firefox 3.0 (20%)
#3 MSIE 6 (16%)
 
MSIE 6 is something many web designers are still told sites MUST  work 
perfectly with.
