Actually, it will only work with IE.

It may seem like it's working with other browsers, but that's probably
because you're not renaming the font and, hence, the non-IE browser is
picking up your permanently-installed font.

I always make a point of renaming the font so that I can be sure that
the embedding is working OK, and I'm not picking up my installed font.

e.g. Renaming an embedded font as 'mainheading' ensures that I'm seeing
the embedded font (when I test) and not the installed font that the eot
file is generated from. It also means that I can also see how the
defaults look in non-IE browsers.

#whatever H2 {
font-family : mainheading, Arial, sans-serif;
}

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
@font-face {
font-family: mainheading;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
src: url(APEXCON0.eot);
}
-->
</STYLE>

(Just a thought.)

regards.
