I think this has been hindering me for a while but I just noticed it.. Is there any specific reason my cufon replaced headings disappear in IE9 i tried

<!--[if gte IE 9]> <script type="text/javascript"> Cufon.set('engine', 'canvas'); </script> <![endif]-->

but it doesnt seem to have any effect.

Thanks for any help.

A while back when IE9 came out, the version of Cufon that was current at the time had a major issue w/ IE9. They released a new version right after to fix the problem. In short, make sure you are using the most recent version of Cufon.

I had to fix a bunch of sites in a hurry back when it happened. That's probably your issue if the cufon text isn't visible in IE9.

Also, check out Typekit.

Sorry for such a delayed response here. I struggled with it for a while after posting this and also stumbled upon the most recent version of cufon which fixed my problem... I used a combination of the new library and

<!--[if gte IE 9]> <script type="text/javascript"> Cufon.set('engine', 'canvas'); </script> <![endif]--> 

	<!--[if IE]>

	        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="all-ie-only.css" />

            <![endif]-->

I dont think the second part is 100% necessary but it helps eliminate some of the quirks between IE8 and IE9

The IE9 Conditional statement works great in most of the cases. Try placing it before Cufon.replace() calls.

Bro, Cufon is terrible, do yourself a favour and start using @font-face.
