Fonts type that can be used for Safari, Chrome and Firefox3.1+ are .ttf(True Type Font) and.otf(open type font). Both support the @font-face rule that allows stylesheet to point to a .ttf  or .otf on server.  IE has little problem with .otf.  After declaring the @font-face rule give reference to your required font-family property in your stylesheet as following:

  @font-face {
   font-family: MEgalopolis Extra; src: url(‘MEgalopolis-Extra.otf');
   }
  h3 { font-family: MEgalopolis Extra, sans-serif; }

Reference:
@font-face {
 font-family: MEgalopolis Extra;
 src: url('MEgalopolis-Extra.otf');
}

Example:

MEgalopolis Extra

The drawback of embedding fonts in stylesheet is again licensing and infringement issues which you can handle with the sIFR (Scalable Inman Flash Replacement) method. There is a well explained article on sIFR implementing the core method, you can find it at Mike Industries’s Blog “sIFR 2.0: Rich Accessible Typography for the Masses“.
There are lots of websites where you can find Free and useful resources. read more
