Yay for @font-face. Not surprised the first examples are misuse.

The mozilla blog that was posted promoted css patterns with @font-face
with yet other ways to make people miserable (decide you want Helvetica
Neue, admit it's not available everywhere, link through @font-face a
mgopen file instead, but not tell the navigator the mgopen is ok so
systems that have mgopen installed or know how to substitute it get to
download the web ttf inconditionally)

I'm not impressed but then I'm about the only person on this list who
never believed in @font-face world-saving powers in the first place.
