There is no universally supported html font embedding procedure. Don't even bother with it. I was just talking to my peeps at Bitstream about their PFR technology which has long been abandoned by every browser, and by Bitstream themselves.
The only reliable technique is to for your visitors to have the specified font installed locally, then call it in your CSS.
In the long run, however, even this is pointless unless it's a professionally hinted TrueType or 'Flash' pixelfont, as OSX is the only environment that antialiases html text. Without manual hinting, any font will look like crap on PC.
