Something else that might be useful ---
When embedding fonts, I assign a generic name in the @fontface rule, instead of using the actual font name, and use that name for the CSS styles. That way, if I decide to use a different embedded font, I can use the same generic name for the @fontface, and I don't have to go back through all the CSS and change all those names.
For example:

Code:
@font-face {
font-family: smcaps;
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
src: url("../Fonts/EBGaramond12-SC.ttf") format("truetype");
}
@font-face {
font-family: blackletter;
src: url("../Fonts/GermaniaOne.ttf") 
format("truetype");
}


.smcaps {
font-family: smcaps;
}
.headline {
font-family: blackletter, serif;
font-size: 135%;
}
'

Now if I wanted to change my smallcaps font to Charis, I only have to change the @fontface, not the rest of the CSS.
