As soon as every major browser supports it, count me in :)

(and as soon as a good majority of folks are actually using those browser versions!)

Internet Explorer has supported @font-face for over 11 years. You can embed SVG into the other browsers and/or use Canvas.

So I can use one of two different "standard" technologies, plus a proprietary technology, to avoid using a single proprietary technology.

I'm not sure where's the advantage.
