How do you creat them for mozilla and how do you make a eot or a prf?
http://www.theclash.zenid.net/aliencowfarm/ "should" have had a working eot in te logo :(
There's a program out there that makes eot's...... it/they convert ttf's to eot's. I'm not sure where to find them.

Well... I asked my mom.. (she into this sort of thing..) and, according to:
http://www.pcmag.com/print_article/0,3048,a=108638,00.asp
QuoteMicrosoft WEFT 3.2 is a free download available at www.microsoft.com/typography/web/embedding/weft3. With this utility, you can create one EOT file for each font you wish to embed. You then code the pages to point to the font files by adding a <STYLE> element to the portion of the page. This element takes the following form:
<style type="text/css">
@font-face
{
font-family: fontname;
font-style: italic;
font-weight: normal;
src: url(fontname.eot);
}
</style>
If that helps. I think I tried WEFT once before.

thanks :) only it doesn't seem to work some how :S
Can't get it to work neither... :-[
Sorry. Just remember that eot files are different from ttf's... I've never tried it, though.

Have you tried some simple Google searches for 'embedded fonts', 'embedded fonts security', 'embedded fonts copyright' etc?
I looked at all of this years ago and decided that it simply wasn't a good idea from these perspectives, not to mention that some folk (see http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Q_20333182.html, also dredged up by Google) simply won't download them!

you know, if it's just for the logo, I'd advice you to save yourself the trouble and create an image with the font you like... it'll also load faster if it's well compressed ;)
