I’m pretty amazed at how well this site works. This is an example of something that has only been possible in the last couple of years without Flash. On the other hand, some of the things that are endemic with Flash (loaders, poor font rendering) seem to have joined the party, too.

There are so many options these days in regards to great fonts that can be used with @font-face, there’s just no excuse to use Cufon.
