Cufon font-replacement flickers, menu looks ugly

Question

I'm using the cufon font replacement technique for my site. it works well, but there is an ugly flicker every time I go to another page within the site. It's not something users will not notice and it does not look pretty. Is there a work around for this? I tried cufon.now() but no good. So far I've only tested my site in FF and Safari on a Mac (can't even think about how this would look in IE!)

Any tips or help appreciated! My site is a wordpress site and I'm using the CUFON font-replacement plugin, WP-CUFON

Answer 1

not really a solution to your problem, but you should try some other font replacement techniques like @font-face.

Answer 2

There WILL be a small delay in the cufon load, as it runs on document.ready() As DeanVos suggests, try the @font-face...
