switch to new urls for benton?

[callumlocke]

FT.com seems to be using new (and more permanent-looking) URLs for Benton:

@font-face {
    font-family: "BentonSans";
    src: url("http://s1.ft-static.com/m/font/ft-velcro/bentonsans-regular.eot");
    src: url("http://s1.ft-static.com/m/font/ft-velcro/bentonsans-regular.eot?#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"), url("http://s1.ft-static.com/m/font/ft-velcro/bentonsans-regular.woff") format("woff");
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: normal;
}

@font-face {
    font-family: "BentonSans";
    src: url("http://s1.ft-static.com/m/font/ft-velcro/bentonsans-bold.eot");
    src: url("http://s1.ft-static.com/m/font/ft-velcro/bentonsans-bold.eot?#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"), url("http://s1.ft-static.com/m/font/ft-velcro/bentonsans-bold.woff") format("woff");
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: bold;
}

Ok I need to find out two things:

1. Is there any chance these will change?
2. That the files that have been used on ft.com are good. The font files used to be render poorly at small sizes.

not to mention the weirdness with Benton bold at 12 and 14pt, where the dot on the i blended in to make an l (el)

Seems the caching headers on the ft.com one cause the fonts not to be cached. Not great. Will leave these as they are until that's fixed.
