It will not be as easy as you think to modify jsMath to use @font-face web fonts.
First, IE uses EOT fonts, while everyone else uses TTF and OTF fonts (and DON'T handle EOT fonts). Also, EOT fonts are keyed to a particular server, so they would have to be modified every time you want to serve them from a different server. I'm not sure of the implications of this for using them from a local disk (as no server is involved). Second, several browsers load web fonts asynchronously, meaning that they initially show the character in a default font and then change the page after the font is loaded. Because jsMath must measure the size of parts of the mathematics while it is constructing the typeset formula, this approach will not work (the sizes would change after the math has ben typeset). So you would need to work out a method of determining when the font is actually available and wait until after that to start typesetting mathematics. The only ways I can think of to do this are fragile hacks. I have been looking forward to being able to use web fonts with jsMath, but it is not a trivial change, and I'm not sure when I will get to it.
