It's not actually a CSS thing. It's Bitstream's Truedoc font embedding 
system, which allows page authors to specify fonts that users won't 
necessarily have on their systems. More details at www.truedoc.com. It only 
works in IE4+ and NN4+. (Microsoft has a similar system called WEFT, but it 
only works in IE.)
