A template is only as good as the content that goes into it

- Never seen it before but a decent javascript alternative to sIFR is FLIR.

I don't know about FLIR but I've used sIFR for ages. Great as it is, it does take a bit of playing around to get right, which is why I think Cufon is well worth a look.
Cameron Moll has a nice little 'How To' in the archives of his site.

I just got it working on the Mynxx template and it looks great, no fiddling around with line-height and letter-spacing or anything. Luxury. Really easy to implement too.
Anyone looking into it just bear in mind that if you limit the domain name you are using on the js file via the Cufon generator, then it won't work on localhost. As usual, seems obvious after you eventually crack it, but that one took a cup of tea and a think
. D'oh!
Cheers

I have Cufon running on my site (
http://www.rosstamicah.com
), but there it only works correctly in FF and IE7 with mootools loading at the same time. if I include the Jquery script
<script type="text/javascript" src=" ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js
"></script>
as per the Cufon docs, none of the other java on the site works (The Rotator on the top, Jtweet module on bottoms right, etc). By loading that script, am I turning off the mootools script that runs all the java bells and whistles on the site? - Rosstamicah Design

Just a quick update to this post, I now use cufon on most of my sites, with great results.
I also redesigned my website in December and have a new font, PT Sans, running throughout most of the site: http://www.rosstamicah.com - Rosstamicah Design
