Took me a while to realize that my @font-face fonts weren't being imported on my Windows Phone. I thought I was doing something wrong and then just sort of gave up after a while.
Well, today, I thought I would take another stab at it thinking that maybe I packaged/converted/imported the fonts incorrectly for the WP7 OS. Then I stumbled across this article which clearly explains the limitation of IE9 on WP7 - http://www.ubelly.com/2011/11/the-differences-between-ie9-on-the-desktop-and-ie9-on-wp7/
Now, I was really excited to see IE9 coming to WP7 and that excitement was mainly around HTML5 support AND @font-face support. Silly me, thinking that IE9 on the mobile device would act like the desktop version.
Anyways, I suppose I could just implement image swaps for the items I want displayed as a certain font.
Here is the list of supported fonts for WP7:
