What is Cufón?

Basically, Cufón it’s separated in two parts: a service that generate a javascript from a font of your choice and a javascript rendering engine, to replace texts in a page, using SVG, canvas and VML.

Cool, and how can I use it?

It’s very simple, follow these steps:

1. Access the Cúfon webpage.
2. Download the cufon-yui.js file.
3. Select and upload a font from your computer, that you want to use.
4. Select “All”, in the “Include the following glyphs”, or if you want to use only in
   some special cases select, view the other options.
5. If you want to use this only in a specific domain, type the domain in “Security” section.
6. Read the terms and accept them to generate the file.
7. Include these tags in the page that you want to use Cúfon, pointing to the files that you have downloaded and generated:

   <script src="cufon.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
   <!-- Here its the file that you have generated -->
   <script src="Vegur.font.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
   

8. Use this code to render all text in h1 tag (for example) with Cúfon:

   Cufon.replace('h1');
   

9. Be happy. :)
