This post will help a TON of people configure their WordPress installations work with the embedded CUFON font generator. Took me almost three days to get all the bugs picked out.

The CUFON is a terrific little bit of script that can embed FREE fonts into JavaScript Code that you load in your webpage’s header section. It doesn’t have to be just WordPress, we are working on a new web site for Nanyana’s music and the embedded fonts are just “awesome!”

Seems there is quite a few tricks and in the background configuring before the average user can get the CUFON working at all. Simo, our ninja CUFON creator is as close to pure genius as a person can get too and still be half way sane.

And the Google Group for the CUFON is loaded with tons of help and similiar situations so you can hunt down offending “ / ” , “ ; ” and “ !php ” that always seem to get in the wrong place (or you forgot!). And the generator can be found at Simo’s companion website. Documentation is a little slim, but above beginner level easy to figure out, and there are lots of code snippets.

So, take the plunge, and embed some really fantastic fonts into your webpage design instead of using SIFR .
