The Exocet Font

So with the Exocet Font that's used for the Planescape logo, does anyone know where there's an OTF version and whether or not it's okay to use them as an embedded web font. That last bit is a bit tricky as it may or may not be legal to use a font that way, and it's generally vague as the font designers have never thought their fonts can be used that way.

What I'm referring to is that can exocet be used in this way for a webpage?
@font-face{
font-family: exocet;
src: url(../fonts/Exocet.otf), url(../fonts/Exocet.eot);
}

And be viewable as exocet with Firefox 3.5+, Safari 3.1+ and Explorer 4+ without a user having the font installed on their personal computer.

The Diablo games use Exocet,

The Diablo games use Exocet, too, and I believe I've seen it on other occassions as well. I don't think someone owns the font...

I think it is a free font. 

I think it is a free font.  I remember getting it from this web site:  http://www.geocities.com/rgfdfaq/tsrfonts.html

The site mentions it has been cloned as: Visitation and Avalon Quest so you can google "visitation font" and get it for free if you can't find exocet.

Two more examples: The hallucination sequence in The Big Lebowski, and a CD I just noticed on my shelf, "White Buffalo."
