cufon not working for me

Pretty hard to say without more careful debugging. Feel free to contact me privately and I can take a look at your site.

not good with me as well. I've uploaded the .font.js file in my theme's folder, but it won't even show up in the dropdown. any ideas?

I got it.... installed the .font.js to sites/all/libraries . it's not the same in the readme and the project page, that got me confused.

I installed the .font.js in the sites/all/libraries and it shows up in the drop down in Cufon settings page. I select it and put these selectors there:

#node-4
#node-8

But the font didn't render for these specific pages. Do I write the selectors OK?

@ransomweaver,

I've noticed that you can solve that in http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/ by scrolling down to "performance & file size" and unchecking "No thanks, use the font's own value" and supplying your own value (I left at 360 units/em).

hope this helps.

cheers,
Luciano

nah, scratch that. it's actually a lot simpler. don't rename the .font.js file. worked for me.

Unchecking the "No thanks, use the font's own value" worked for me!

I've got nothing happening here, too. It would be great if the instructions include what to put in the selector box. Do we need to include square brackets, or [style=xxxx] or any of that stuff? Or, as above, is it sufficient to put in "h1.title"? (without the quotes, of course)

After not getting results with two custom-generated fonts I fell back on using Vegur, the test font.

I'm not getting javascript errors or even notices. My fonts show up in the font-family select box. The only permissions I see to change are whether I can administer cufon.

Is there manual editing I'm supposed to do to my theme css files? Am I supposed to manually add the font javascript statements to my theme files?

I had the same problem Ransomweaver had but with 1 slight difference: I did not rename the font file.

The file that was generated was named Limerick-DemiBold_500.font.js and the name of the font-family on the settings page was "Limerick". This way Cufon can't find the font and won't replace anything.

I solved this by changing the font-family value in the generated js file to "limerick" but I think this is an issue in de Cufon module that should be resolved by loading the name of the font from the generated js file instead of deriving it from the file name.

Cufon module wasn't recognizing my .font.js file.
2 things solved my problem

1 - The cufon font files must be located at: sites/all/libraries/cufon-fonts
I've found this tip here: http://quinnsupplee.com/blog/quinn/02-04-2010/using-custom-fonts-cufon-a...

2 - as markwittens says: the .font.js filename must match the font-face statement inside the .js. If you open the font.js file you'll see:

Cufon.registerFont({"w":1217,"face":{"font-family":"Arial MT Bold".....
if the font file is called Arial_MT_Bold_400.font.js, it won't work, you have to make both names identical except for spaces (spaces are replaced by _ )

#11, comment 2 worked for me. Thank you.

thanks this work for me, ;)

Also make sure u have correct order of the javastripts. I spend hours finding why cuofn doesn't work on my Drupal site. Tried this module and custom scripts adding also. Nothing worked for me until i noticed, that there is wrong order of the scripts.
Suma sumarum: Make sure, that first is loaded cufon-yui.js, then YOURS.font.js and only afther these two u can define selectors with cufon.replace naturally.

Thanks for the blog post mention, #11!

I've found I can also put the cufon-fonts folder inside a specific theme folder. That way, the font will only be used by that theme and not by others (such as your admin theme). However, I've heard sometimes this might not work across all browsers.

I solved this by changing the font-familiy value in the generated js file...

This worked for me too. Changing the generated js file to reflect name continuity - or in this case, font-inuity (I couldn't help it) - fixed the problem. Thanks @markwittens.

Hi every body , i searched a lot but my problem is :
i have a website using cufon for English side and its working well , but when i propagate to the Arabic side all words disappear ,???
any solution

Hi che_viva,

probably you should check that the font you are using suppors Arabic characters.

Can someone state precisely how the name were given for the file and the font-family. I've been battling with Novento font here and it doesn't seem to work.

The file name is Novecento_wide.font.js and the font-family within the file is Novecento_wide

Have you tried removing the underscore from both the filename and the fontname?

Here are some selectors help anybody who has no idea what the selectors are.

h1

h2

h3

#admin-menu-wrapper

node-1p

If you are using superfish menu then you will want to use this selector for your menu #superfish-1 > li > a

"Cheers to all the vampires in the issue cue."

Font detection routine changed in 6.x-1.x-dev.

Re-open issue if problem persists.

comment #10 fixed it for me after hours of trying to figure out why my font wasn't applying. This should probably move into the documentation if it's not going to be fixed by code. Such an easy fix but no idea that it was causing the problem. I'm in 7 btw and it still exists, because of the way cufon generator names the fonts.

7.x version doesn't extract font names from filenames but from font file contents. That logic is also ported to 6.x-1.0rc1

If something doesn't work please open new issue with exact problem (and fix if you have it).
