When Safari will support the WOFF?

Question

When Safari will support the WOFF?

I know, Safari support the CSS webfont decleration @font-face.
Formats like OTF/TTF can Safari read. But this setting not converged unfortunately with the strategy of the big fonthouses like Fontshop.com or Fonts.com. There you don't get hinted .otf/.ttf-Webfont. You get only the webfont formats .eot and .woff
Okay, we can use Webfontservices. But not everyone will use this sevices. You've pulled the short straw if you will apply specific fonts for your or Client Website when the Font isn't hosted by a fontservice.

Also, when Safari will support the WOFF?

Thx for the Link. But the Question isnt solved.

Wikipedia says Safari and Chrome underlying WebKit framework and WebKit development builds support WOFF.
The Situation is WOFF web fonts are now live in Chrome-Browser but not in Safari -- why?

I am wondering the same thing, WOFF working in Chrome, but not in Safari? EOT/WOFF/SVG are the best methods for web fonts right now, why is Safari still needing TTF files?
