With browser support / licensing issues of @font-face (a feature of CSS3), which intermediate option do you prefer? Cufon,Typeface.js, or SIFR? Cufon is new but has been getting a lot of praise from the web design community, how does it differ from Typeface.js ? ...
I'd like to use a non-standard web font to improve the appearance of my HTML. Is it preferable to embed a web font or use something like sifr? My understanding is sifr is a flash-based viewer for vector fonts but I've been reluctant to try it because it seems somewhat complicated. There does not seem to be a lot of encouraging talk ...
This is new one, I'm having problem with an Archive page i've made. It seems like a fairly straight forward floated div image gallery... but for some reason the there's a bunch of line breaks randomly throughout the divs. I thought it may have been a problem with Cufon or IE.JS etc but I disabled all JS and it still bugs out. See: htt...
I've been trying to research a safer way to implement Cufón that would store the actual font data in a MySQL database that could be queried and returned when necessary, without having to store the converted .js file on the server (and break EULA). Is this even possible? I'm still in the beginning stages of testing this out. I've alread...
Cufonning a font onto a page with a Cycle jQuery plugin enabled, slowly scrolling through a set of messages. Each message moves off the viewport but then takes forever for the next one to appear. There is almost a one second gap between the first one leaving and the second one appearing. Any reason why this is happening? Here's my code:...
Can anyone tell me why Cufon isn't working on the following page: [URL removed] I've used Cufon numerous times in the past and now that I'm at a point where the project is ultra time sensitive I run into an issue. Web Inspector in Safari is telling me: "ReferenceError: Can't find variable: Cufon" All of the files are linked up correc...
So right now I'm bashing my head - at the moment we use an element for a button to give it our own custom font, fine - this works, but as we're using Cufon on the rest of the site, we're wondering if it's possible to get Cufon working on a button. So far I've changed the button to an and using standard css styles on an 'input' or 'inp...
Is it possible to do this? I haven't been able to find anything in the documenation that says you CAN'T do it, but the following selector is not working for me: Cufon.set('fontFamily', 'Museo'); Cufon.set('fontWeight', '300'); Cufon.replace('input.text, input.password, textarea'); Any ideas, or does Cufon simply not support this? Th...
Has anyone experienced this? Cufon text disappears when using Yahoo Babelfish. Thanks! ...
I'm using Cufon ( http://wiki.github.com/sorccu/cufon/about ) to use special fonts in my website. But when I apply line-height in CSS, it doesn't affect my Cufon fonts. But in IE it does work. What could be reason for this behaviour? ...
Good evening ladies and gentlemen! Searching for a cross-browser solution to embed commercial fonts like HelveticaNeue or Univers etc. I found some promising approaches.

Imagine a normal page calling javscript in head. The trouble is some of the content isnt loaded untill i click on a link. Subsequently when this link loads the content it wont work. This is because i guess the javascript has already been run and therefor doesnt attach itself to those elements called later on. There is only standard h...
When using multiple lists and hover states the 'parent' Cufon style replaces the child. In the following example, when you hover the Second Level link it will be replaced by a different weight. Is there an option I can set so that the nested style stays the same or is this a bug/limitation within Cufon? <ul> <li><a href="#">Top Le...
When using Cufón the documentation recommends using the following snippet with IE in order to eliminate a small delay in rendering the replacing font. <script type="text/javascript"> Cufon.now(); </script> While testing it I never experienced any delay with IE7+ but the issue occur using Google Chrome. If I put the snippet on, Chrome ...
I'm using Cufon to replace the font of selected heading elements on a site I'm working on, but whenever I load a page, there is a noticeable flash of unstyled text before Cufon replaces the text. I expect that I may be doing it wrong. Here's what I have in the <head>: <script src="/js/Monotype_Corsiva_italic_400.font.js"></script> <scri...

I'm using the Cufon font replacement tool on iPhone. Unfortunately, it's really slow there. (On a small 50 word page it takes about 2 seconds on my first-gen iPhone.) Are there any optimizations I can make to improve performance? (If you have multiple tips, please split them out into multiple answers so they can be voted up separatel...
