I've seen CSS tricks being used to create offset layered headlines, usually for a drop shadow. Has anyone seen an example of embedded web fonts being used with multi-layered fonts to create a multicolored effect?

I wonder why the linking doesn't work in Chrome. Does it work in other browsers?

Works in Safari and Firefox on my Mac.

Maybe Chrome is doing some sort of domain checking (the font path is specified as a full http address).

That's odd. Seems to have been a problem with the font file and not the code. Should be working now in Chrome.
