Cufon is cool stuff – i used it on a travel agency site recently: http://www.shipsandtripstravel.com
(Dynamic Feature Rotator and Specials) and multiple fonts on the testimonials page: http://shipsandtripstravel.com.....nials.html

Unfortunately, most of these websites are breaking the law and you’re doing your readers a disservice by not pointing that out. The licenses for many of the fonts used in your examples actually prevent the use of something like cufon (which re-constructs the font as JavaScript code). With cufon, someone could just steal the JavaScript code and, thus, the font. Very few fonts — even the ones pre-installed on your system — are legally usable by cufon. Aurulent Sans is a proper open source font (there aren’t many) and could be used. Perhaps Google’s Droid font too, but you’d need to check.

Great article, some brilliant uses of cufon. I’m yet to implement it on any of my sites, but definately look forward to getting it sorted in the near future

Hi there, nice round up of sites. I’ve been using Cufón in most of my sites since it became available and I’ve definitely found it to be be a much more usable script than SiFR. I’m looking forward to seeing how @fontface works out though. Here’s my own site, which heavily relies on Cufón throughout for its visual style and hierarchy. Let me know what you think… http://okellydesign.com

I came across my portfolio site in this article, which i found amusing
Cufon is a brilliant tool ever since i came across it a few months back i don’t think i have made a website since that doesn’t use it.
There are a couple little bugs which i do hope cufon will fix but its definitely nice to be able to use any font you like.
Good bye arial
