Getting Gill Sans to display properly in IE

I'm developing a website that uses the Gill Sans font. So far it displays properly on Chrome and Firefox, but not in IE. Here's the css:

@font-face {font-family:"Gill Sans"; 
src:url(../../GillSansStd.otf);}
@font-face {font-family:"Gill Sans"; 
font-weight:bold; src:url(../../GillSansStd-Bold.otf);}
@font-face {font-family:"Gill Sans"; 
font-style:italic; src:url(../../GillSansStd-Italic.otf);}

I tried converting the .otf to .eot and adding a conditional statement for IE, but I couldn't get that to work either. I don't know much about fonts so please excuse me, but I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out.

See fonts.com info on using Gills Sans as web font.

Note that a normal license for the Gill Sans font does not allow use as web font, and some browsers may enforce this legal restriction as a technical limitation.

When using FONT types that consist of two words, quotes must be placed on them so the browser does not read them as separate entries. 

@font-face {font-family:""Gill Sans""; 
src:url(../../GillSansStd.otf);}
@font-face {font-family:""Gill Sans""; 
font-weight:bold; src:url(../../GillSansStd-Bold.otf);}
@font-face {font-family:""Gill Sans""; 
font-style:italic; src:url(../../GillSansStd-Italic.otf);}
