In addition at

www.microsoft.com/typography

one can get the Web Embedded Fonts Tool (WEFT), which is necessary to
generate the proprietary eot file. Its also one of the clunkiest and
hardest to use programs ever created.

One can also embed fonts in OE HTML email. For OE4 see here and the section
on embedding fonts www.okinfoweb.com/moe/format.

For OE5, certain adjustments have to be made.
