Are Web Fonts Ready?

Are web fonts ready to be used in real-world, web designs? Is there a cross-browser way to load your own fonts into your website today, or do we have to wait a few more years? I know IE5-8 supports web fonts with EOT file types. And pretty much all the other web browsers support TTF file types. So could I use a conditional comment for IE users to load EOT and TTF for non-IE users? Or is there a good reason not to do this?
Thanks for reading.

So how do I convert an otf to an eot, or an eot to an otf? O.o
