My homepage is supposed to use LM Roman font. I am using the following code to declare it:
@font-face {
font-family: 'romanc';
src: url('lmromancaps10-regular.eot');
src: url('lmromancaps10-regular.otf');
}
@font-face {
font-family: 'roman';
src: url('lmroman10-regular.eot');
src: url('lmroman10-regular.otf');
}
It does work perfectly well in Mac OS X with Opera and Safari, but not in Windows XP with Opera, FF, Chrome or IE (all newest versions).
Does it work for you? If not, what is the problem?
To check it, follow here to my draft homepage . You can find a sample of LM Roman font here .

Works for me on Win XP FF.
Works for me on Win XP FF. however I do find issues from time to time with this notion of @font-face embedding, Opera seems to have trouble at times, syntax?

Some further details
Thanks, Hugo 
I seem to have solved font-face problem per se. However, Windows machines still tend to display fonts in a very odd fashion. See for yourself (Opera Win):
Just for comparison, Opera in Mac

In all honesty? We have
In all honesty? We have hankered after some form of typographic control for years, the notion of font embedding is not new it's as old as the hills, recently with improvements it's become considered ready for prime time and usable, but somehow I don't feel it is really, perhaps the issue lies with the actual fonts available and their quality after all it's supposed to be a very technical and skilled process creating fonts I suspect many of the free or open licence variety are not really up to the job.
