I don’t use Cufon much these days, I prefer to use @font-face if possible. I still use it from time to time though (say what you like, it does render the fonts absolutely beautifully) and of course I sometimes have to work on sites which have employed it.
This is just a quick post because I came across an unusual situation this morning – a site which was failing to render menu items in Cufon in IE8 only. IE7 and IE9 were fine, and allt he other fonts were displaying fine in IE8 – just this menu that was failing to.
Found the solution in this Drupal forum thread . Added the following CSS to the IE8 conditional stylesheet and all was well again;
.cufon { visibility: visible !important; }
