How to prevent Cufon replacement flashing of content?

Hi,

a buyer is complaining about Cufon replacement being slow in IE8 …

I’m not sure how to deal with this – do you have any idea how to prevent font replacement from flashing? Is this some variation of ‘Flash of unstyled content’?

Thanks, FT

Is it being loaded at the top or bottom of the page (markup). I’ve had issues with leaving the scripts until the very end so try sticking them up top.

Well maybe your buyer’s internet connection is slow. Try CSS3 font replacement. But in fact you don’t have to do anything. This is buyer’s problem. If his/her internet connection is slow or hosting is bad you can’t do any thing about it.

FullTank,

Try this. Just BEFORE you end your body tag, place this small line of code

Cufon.now()

Works for me in IE8 . This will prevent the second of the text not being replaced.

If this does not work, you could always temporarily hide everything you’re going to replace, but the above solution should yield you the results your looking for.

Good luck!

You mean first I put:

Cufon.replace(’... etc.

and after that

Cufon.now();

?

Thanks everyone!
