   I'm sure I saw the thread on here somewhere but can't seem to find it now.

   Anyway, the Cufon font does not appear to work in some browsers, is there a workaround for this maybe?

   That's indeed a serious problem if you're using cufon. I.e. My Nokia 5800 can't display Cufon fonts with the original Symbian browser. On this website you maybe find some solutions: http://wiki.github.com/sorccu/cufon/ .

   Another option would be to use font-face or Sifr to display certain fonts.

   Font-face is used on this page - the code looks like:

   
@font-face {
font-family: 'Josefin Sans Std Light';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
src: local('Josefin Sans Std Light'), url('http://themes.googleusercontent.com/font?kit=doRWK9Qks0OQGenH-kW8nsnX9wMe89zs2uzox0MWMfk') format('truetype');
}

   But be aware that there are some disadvantages, too.

   it is bizarre, according to the website most mainstream browsers are supported...although I got odd results with IE7 on different machines.

   I'm facing exactly the same problem with the Reenie Beanie font.
   In IE7 it simply doesn't show
