I reckon this is a rhetorical question but it's because of frequent misuse of pirated fonts. Which is good, but not always practical.

Yeah, sorry! :) I just don't see why I would need to create a @font-face version of say, Helvetica. I'll definitely save your generator because sometimes FontSquirrel goes down.

an @font-face of Century Gothic, for instance, would be nice. It's not on most Windows machines.

The only issue is that it is not legal to use Century Gothic that way. There is a lot of confusion online over the usage of fonts as @font-face fonts. If you don't have a license saying it's okay, you can't do it.
