In a mail thread
http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2008-October/005493.html

we decided not to support EOT in webkit. Instead, Maciej came up with a
brilliant idea of using the facility for 'text-transform' to convert the
content of a text-node (font-encoded) to Unicode on the fly. This transcoding
will be triggered by a pre-configured list of (web site, font) pairs. Which
transcoder to use will be keyed by (web site, font) as well. 

Prunthaban has looked into implementing transcoders to webkit.
