Of course it does, but only with EOT format fonts.  Does W3C mandate a 
particular font format in that part of the CSS spec?  In fact wasn't it 
someone from Microsoft who originally proposed @font-face embedding that 
was first included in the CSS 1.5 draft spec?


<!--[if IE]>
<style type="text/css">
@font-face {
   font-family: "OFLFreeFont";
   font-style:  normal;
   font-weight: normal;
   src: url("fon ts/OFLFreeFont.eot");
}
</style>
<![endif]-->

<!--[if !IE]>-->
<style type="text/css">
@font-face {
   font-family: "OFLFreeFont";
   font-style:  normal;
   font-weight: normal;
   src: url("fonts/OFLFreeFont.ttf");
}
</style>
