Despite it being in the CSS 2 specification from 1998, downloadable fonts specified with the @font-face at-rule never caught on. The main reason was that Microsoft and Netscape chose to support different font formats, neither of which was in wide use. However, that may be about to change. As reported in Downloadable Fonts, recent nightly builds of Apple WebKit (not the normal nightly build but a feature branch) support @font-face rules with TrueType fonts. The browser will download the font file you specify and use the typeface it contains just like any other.

Anonymous Now in the Google Chrome Browser, Too
The Google Chrome browser uses the same WebKit infrastructure as does Safari. So now they both do this.
