Dynamic (EOT) fonts and IE8

I heard that dynamic fonts -EOTs created by WEFT -don't work in IE8. Is that true?

This thread on Channel9 is outdated. New Beta2 we released few days ago supports EOTs fine.

Thanks,
Sergey

GREAT!  

I went over to browsercam.com to check it out, and I found that it does a pretty good job, but with odd results in a couple of cases.

Example 1:  The body font of this page is "Century Gothic", however, the font displayed is "Teen."  Although "Teen" is in the style sheet, "Century Gothic" is the declared body font.  A second font, "Noodlescript," does show correctly.

Example 2: The fonts do not appear at all on this page as they are supposed to.  IE8b02 went to the default font. IE7 displayed the page correctly.

<  target=_top href="http://www.browsercam.com/public.aspx?proj_id=439504">Example 3: IE8b02 did display my font embedding test page correctly.

I am very pleased, as I'm sure other font "nuts" will be, that IE8 will support embedded fonts.

I installed IE8 Beta2. EOT fonts are working fine.
