There are various examples here on the site about font embedding with the correct syntax.

Remember, the @font-face must be the first lines in a stylesheet. The @namespace and @charset are not used. You place that in the xml declaration of the xhtml files.

i had searched with in the forum , i find the answer by replacing the media type as "application/vnd.ms-opentype"

Don't forget my other comments. In general a font is not embedded for the body, since font embedding does not always works and a full font can be quite large.
For certain languages there is no choice though.

Truetype: .ttf = media-type="application/x-font-ttf"

Opentype: .otf = media-type="application/vnd.ms-opentype"
