Here is the current status of @font-face ttf/otf support in browsers:
http://caniuse.com/ttf

Normal opentype files work in the latest versions of all browsers (except
opera mini :p)

Adding special webfont formats is not worth the pain, and anyway the main
use would be old ie versions, that require eot which is not a really open
format.

I think spot will agree there is no way we'll ever ship a font consisting
of company logos, it's trademark hell
(this is another example that proves the wisdom of checking every font,
even 'special' 'embedded' ones)
