Safari supports @font-face with tt/ot and supports text-shadow

msie supports @font-face but exclusively with eot fonts, so it won't
use the downloaded font. It doesnt support text-shadow. It may well be
picking up a serif font as a fallback.

Firefox 3.5 preview (updated from beta 4 at the start of the week)
supports @font-face with tt/ot, downloads the font, and uses
text-shadow. So it renders just like Safari does.

But does it use the graublau font?

Opera 10.0 beta (build 1551) supports @font-face with tt/ot, downloads
the font, and uses text-shadow. So it renders just like Safari does.
