Internet Explorer @font-face is failing

Question

I'm trying to get Internet Explorer to render my pretty fonts. It's not working. They work fine in Firefox and I can see in my Apache access logs that IE has pulled the fonts. So it's parsing the font-face CSS tag, just not rendering them.

The site I used to convert the fonts was: http://www.kirsle.net/wizards/ttf2eot.cgi. I tried that WEFT tool by Microsoft but it wouldn't work properly. After installing and opening it, it said 'First time running it, do this...' then it continually hanged.

Here's my CSS:

@font-face {    font-family: 'HelveticaLTCN';    src: url('HelveticaNeueLTCom-LtCn_0.eot');    src: local('HelveticaNeuel TCom LtCn'), url('HelveticaNeueLTCom-LtCn_0.ttf') format('TrueType'); } 

Any ideas as to why IE isn't rendering the fonts?

EDIT: Should also mention, I'm calling the font with:

p .mytext {    font-family: HelveticaLTCN; }

If you've thrown in the towel or you're still struggling with this I strongly recommend font squirrel. It replaces WEFT far better than any of the other online .eot generators. As a huge bonus, it supplies all needed cross-browser formats in one zip file along with a working CSS+HTML sample page. It's the closest thing yet to @fontface nirvana.
