Set the CSS3 @font-face operation

Set the CSS3 @font-face operation

I have tried this without success:

$("@font-face").css("font-family","myCustomFont");
$("@font-face").css("src","url('myFontLocation')");

trying to emulate the expected CSS3 statement:

@font-face {
  font-family: "myCustomFont";
  src: url("myFontLocation");
}

Is this possible? If so what is the exact syntax?

Searching found no clear answer, though I ran across Cufon and similar libraries, but I would rather stay in jQuery if possible.
