Prior to M$IE9, it only used proprietary EOT fonts. You can read about them here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_OpenType

Then, the CSS segment would look like this:


@font-face
{
font-family: 'blok-regular';
src: url('type/Blokletters-Potlood.eot');
src: local('Blokletters Potlood Potlood'),
local('Blokletters-Potlood'),
url('type/Blokletters-Potlood.ttf') format('truetype');
}


You may want to try the Google Fonts API instead to work with earlier versions of M$IE:

Also, I believe that this online app will convert TTF to EOT.
