Hey guys,
I see this all the time and it’s become a bit of a pet peeve for me. When using cufón, you shouldn’t call the plugin for each individual element.
Bad
Cufon.replace('h1');
Cufon.replace('h2');
Cufon.replace('h3');
Cufon.replace('h4');
Just call the plugin once and chain your elements together to be processed in one swoop.
Good
Cufon.replace('h1, h2, h3, h4');
I’ll start asking that authors begin doing it the correct way, although I won’t reject an item solely for this. Upon approval (or along with a soft-rejection), I’ll request that this is also fixed. Thanks!

They actually don’t have this info easily displayed in their documentation. I just discovered this about a month ago when trying to find a solution to getting :hover to work with Cufon on someone’s blog. You still sometimes have to call the plugin separately for elements that you want hover or color change. Cufon has some strange quirks.
Thanks for point it out for the newer peeps, remick.

Stop using Cufón at all. Start using @font-face 
If using jQuery then you can also do this..
Cufon.replace(’:header’)
Will grab all h1, h2, h3 elements etc etc.
Turns out I just wrote a tutorial on this yesterday.. http://www.designsaga.com/jquery/jquery-advanced-selecting/
Let me know if this helps you guys.

Not really. On Win browsers it looks like crap.

Please point me to one font that looks decently, since I haven’t seen one.
Cleartype issues?
