Is it just me or have people stopped testing how the font renders on anything other than a Mac? Don't people believe in cross-platform readability anymore?

@font-face {
font-family: 'Crimson Text';
src: url('/style/v6/fonts/crimsontext-regular.eot?') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('/style/v6/fonts/crimsontext-regular.woff') format('woff'),
url('/style/v6/fonts/crimsontext-regular.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('/style/v6/fonts/crimsontext-regular.svg#svgFontName') format('svg');
}
The browsers I've tested on so far will only load the file they're interested in, so it doesn't add much overhead in requests.There's a breakdown of the hows & whys of this method at http://www.fontspring.com/blog/the-new-bulletproof-font-face...; I think that's the most current method in use. It seems to work well.
