Exploring Cufón Cameron Moll shares some findings on the promising upstart sIFR competitor. 

Pronunciation of sIFR Not sure why the sudden interest but this has become quite the frequently asked question of late. 

Cufón A promising Canvas/VML alternative to sIFR. It’s really a shame they’d let Opera support hold up something as essential as being able to select text though. 

sIFRvault A repository of (presumably public domain) sIFR fonts. (via @ltackett’s tweet) 

Making Web Fonts Work Jon Tan on the current state of embedding typefaces. It never occurred to me that @font-face might incur a delay before rendering text (a common complaint against sIFR). And I had completely forgotten how rubbish ClearType is. Until anti-aliasing discrepancies between platforms can be resolved I don’t see even a standardized approach being accepted by discerning designers. Looks like we’re in for another four years of flash replacement. 

The State of Font Embedding Mark Wubben, the maintainer of sIFR, thinks out loud about font embedding and the various stop-gap alternatives. 

God hearts sIFR Abel is dead, long live Abel. 

Lealea Design “Lealea is pronounced like that princess’ name from Star Wars—twice.” Nice use of sIFR and Slideshow Pro to present some gorgeous work. Don’t miss the Blogblog.
