Just started using this technique and am having strange results on the PC side. Virtually every browser I preview this site in on a PC makes the font look totally horsey. Example:

Anyone have experience with this issue? Is there a resolution? Does it have anything to do with how the fonts were created? Appreciate any help I can get. I used the font-face generator over at fontsquirrel.com.

The @font-face rule allows custom fonts to be loaded on a webpage. Once added to a stylesheet, the rule instructs the browser to download the font from where it is hosted, then display it as specified in the CSS.
Definition and Usage With the @font-face rule, web designers do not have to use one of the "web-safe" fonts anymore. In the @font-face rule you must first define a name for the font (e.g. myFirstFont), and then point to the font file.
The HTML <font> face Attribute is used to specify the font family of the text inside <font> element. Attribute Values: It contains single value font_family which is used to specify the font family. Several font family can be used by separating comma. Note: The <font> face attribute is not supported by HTML5.
That's a Hinting problem.
When you generate your font-face kit (like in FontSquirrel), you need to specify Hinting on the Expert options.
Choose Expert, and under Rendering, select:
Apply Hinting - Improve Win rendering.
