Hi KDN, this is a great article!

I have been using cufon for the first time on one of my projects. As much as i like it, the delay and blurriness is not ideal. Will definitely be giving this a try on Monday. Do you know if there is as much of a delay, if any using this?

Cheers!

@Eddy Chrome should to my knowledge take the SVG file.

Chrome doesn’t seem to support truetype, do you know how to get it to work there? Thanks!

Not the best picture, bet Bjørn have a better one somewhere. The burgers had high dense of fat so if you put the burgers back in the package while taking a sip of soda, the bottom bread part would be ruined by the burger fat.

Sounds like you guys had a blast, cool! The burger didn’t really look all that great though. : D

Nice write-up on cross-browser font face usage, Kenneth!

I think your JavaScript for loading fonts needs a small adjustment in order to work with IE. $(‘head’).append(“”) won’t work. AFAIK, only way to make IE load a stylesheet this way is to call the non-standard function createStyleSheet().

Perhaps you want to try something like this:

$(document).ready(function() {
var fontURL = ”;

if(jQuery.browser.msie)
fontURL = ’style-ie-fonts.css’;
else if(jQuery.browser.safari)
fontURL = ’style-safari-fonts.css’;
else if(jQuery.browser.mozilla)
fontURL = ’style-mozilla-fonts.css’;
else if(jQuery.browser.chrome)
fontURL = ’style-chrome-fonts.css’;

if (document.createStyleSheet) {
document.createStyleSheet(fontURL);
} else {
var cssLink = $(document.createElement(“link”));
cssLink.attr({
rel: “stylesheet”,
type: “text/css”,
href: fontURL
});
$(“head”).append(cssLink);
}
});
