Hiya Gergely, Webkit Mobile traditionally makes use of .svg format fonts (although modern devices will accept .woff & .ttf, and there was a brief period when none at all were supported).
Your best bet is to take your OTF font and put it through Fontsquirrel's @font-face generator, which will convert your fonts into all the necessary formats and provide the CSS for them. http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator Androids ship with the excellent Droid font family, and doesn't have the traditional web stack (ie Arial, Verdana, etc). Modern mobile devices tend to do better with fonts because of their higher resolution, which allows the presentation of details without falling into awkward pixelated rendering, as many otherwise acceptable web fonts do on 96/120ppi monitors.
