I would like to use Calibri for my website.
I would like to use the Calibri font for my website even when the visitor does not have the font installed (ie. non Windows Vista/7 visitors).
Does Microsoft allow embedding of the Calibri font into a Web Site?
If so, what technology do they allow this? EOT?
Thanks.

The ones that are found in both circles are considered to be web safe. If your site uses a font such as Calibri, Mac users may not see it. And if your site uses Futura, Windows users may not see it. Arial will be seen just the way it is by users of both operating systems.
It is not a free font. You'd have to licence it from Ascender Corporation to distribute it with an app. A good option would be going with Carlito which was designed by Google and released for free.
You probably saw this string in Microsoft Word font selection menu, but it's not a font name (see e.g. the explanation Font: +body (in W07)). So use just font-family: Calibri or, better, font-family: Calibri, sans-serif .
Somehow, Google has Calibri and Cambria in their directory. You might be able to use it through their link:
Calibri → https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Calibri:400,700,400italic,700italic
Cambria → https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cambria:400,700,400italic,700italic

I would just put Calibri in the CSS followed by the fonts that match Calibri the closest. For example:
font-family: Calibri, Candara, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Optima, Arial, sans-serif; Your website will then take the best available font.
Depending on the type of visitors your website is meant for most visitors should have Windows Vista or Windows 7 and thus have the Calibri font available for viewing your website.
