@Christopher Quite right you are, just haven’t gotten around to it - I implemented @font-face before the knowledge about SVG fonts for mobile WebKit and Chrome started making the rounds.

Oh, and love that you’re using IM Fell on your blog. Lovely.

Yeah, @font-face is wonderful, isn’t it?

Quick note: You should be able to get your typefaces working on Mobile Webkit if you provide SVG font files.

@Oliver I've seen Cufon, but using native fonts via @font-face is superior in every way. Cufon is a (brilliant) hack that loses its utility with the arrival of proper font embedding.

@Chris Cool, I've been debating picking that book up. Are you liking it?

I was just reading about this in my copy of Handcrafted CSS by Dan Cederholm. I had read snippets of it on the web but never gave it much thought - good to see it in use.
