OTF Font on web server?

Question

I wonder is it possbile to use otf fonts on web server? I am asking this question because the following font works well on localhost but does not when I upload it on IIS.

@font-face 
{
    font-family:"CustomArabicFont";
    src: url("fonts/NassimArabicTEST-Regular.otf");
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
} 

This is how I am calling this font:

.custom-ar-font 
{
    font-family: CustomArabicFont, Tahoma;
    font-size: 18px;
}

You'll need to configure the proper MIME types. OTF fonts should have a MIME-type of application/font-sfnt.
