On the subject of browser support – unicode-range works fine on iOS with but local doesn’t seem to work.
Testing on iOS5, src local seems to work just fine. Here’s an example test page.
The one caveat is that you need to use Postscript names, not fullnames (i.e. “Futura-MediumItalic” instead of “Futura Medium Italic”). If you’re using an OSX machine, open Fontbook, select a specific font, then select Preview > Show Font Info. Both the Postscript name and fullname are shown.
