And of course there's the Internet Explorer question. :)
IE currently only supports the EOT "embedded" font format, and won't accept regular TrueType or OpenType font files. If there are free software tools for creating an EOT from a TTF or OTF which we could use to automate this, that would be quite nice. Otherwise it'll remain a progressive enhancement for standards-compliant browsers, and IE users will have to download the fonts manually.
ttf2eot should work:

EOT is a pretty trivial wrapper, with nothing patented unless you use MTX compression (which you don't have to).
