The @font-face attribute has been around for a while now. While it actually supports most browsers of today and therefore should be production ready, I found myself always using Cufon instead. As I described in one of my earlier posts, the reason for not using @font-face is because Internet Explorer (the usual suspect) does not support anti-aliased rendering by default which makes the fonts jaggy and unsmooth. However, I’ve since my last post about this matter discovered a hack that makes IE behave. It forces it to render the font with anti-aliasing. Check it out at Koodooz.com:

So nowdays I always use font-face when applicable. Thank you Cufon, you’ve been great but font-face is really the way to go! And maybe someday IE will behave without hacks. One can dream…
