Alan, Here are my suggestions for cross-browser font embedding: sIFR http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/archive/2004/12/sifr-2.0-release-candidate-3 or: sIIR http://axisfive.net/aboutsiir/ I experimented with the MS WEFT tool on some design layouts before finding I can deliver standards compliant font embedding with sIFR. sIIR may be better suited for your company font as sIFR depreciates back to CSS font calls when either Javascript or Flash isn't enabled.
