Unfortunately with htm5 n Modernizr 2.5 cufon bugs in ie8 n 7. It displays double fonts. Apparently there is not bug fix for it yet. So, if u want to use html5 techniques n b compatible with ie with cufon, go for html5shiv. You might have to play s bit around if you wish to b compatible with tablets(ipad, etc), but at least works fine. Haven’t tried typefont but i reckon it has the same issue. I’ll try googlefonts tomorrow even if unfortunately they don’t support many fonts, n the few available r quite rubbish!

I have used typeface with several fonts and it had worked succefully but NOT with AAAIIGG font. Any idea why could be the problem? Thanks

Thanks for the post. I personally prefer Typface as it is what I have been accustomed to using but a lot of other people from graphic design courses say they prefer Cufon so I might give it a try.

not sure if I could use cufon or typeface for non-latin fonts like Chinese. Will give it a go in the next project. Anybody has tried that before?

Most corect solution seems to be to use this as alternative for @font-face for browsers that support it. Waiting for more. Anna

The demo page doesn’t work at all in IE8. Also the cufon.now() doesn’t fix the flicker for me in IE8.

@Maxim Stoyanow: Well, this doesn’t sound to me proper at all. It looks like the text has been piped through google translate or something similar

Шрыфт пераўтварэння (Font conversion is translated as “the font of conversion”)
=========
Вы загрузіць шрыфт, абраць Знак групы (якія ўяўляюць сабою наборы, як загалоўныя, малыя літары, лічбы, знакі прыпынку і г.д.) вы жадаеце ўключыць і ён вяртаецца.

(All word forms are lost here, and the sentence is a complete gibberish – it sounds like pidgin Chinese variant of English)

As for me, quality of this belorussian translation is normal and good enought for understanding (i’m from in Belarus too… know russian and belorussian languages)
