DOCTYPE - Definition and Usage

The doctype declaration should be the very first thing in an HTML document, before the tag.

The doctype declaration is not an HTML tag; it is an instruction to the web browser about what version of the markup language the page is written in.

The doctype declaration refers to a Document Type Definition (DTD). The DTD specifies the rules for the markup language, so that the browsers render the content correctly.

Font Replacement Using Cufón

We all know about the big font replacement methods. sIFR's big. Image font replacement has gained some steam. Not too many people know about a great project named Cufón though. Cufón uses a unique blend of a proprietary font generator tool and JavaScript to create a custom font renderer in canvas and VML. Here's how to use Cufón to render the Sin City font for your headers.

Step 1: Generate the Font

The first step is to use the Cufón font-generator tool to convert and customize the way the font renders. I was very impressed with the number of options available for the font conversion. Once the conversion is done, Cufón's generate presents you with a JavaScript file containing the font information as Cufón can read it.

Step 2: Include Cufón and the Font

Include the Cufón JavaScript file and the generated font's JavaScript file.
copy<script type="text/javascript" src="cufon.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Sin_City_400.font.js"></script>

Step 3: Selectors and Elements

Time to select the elements to Cufón-ize. I don't recommend using Cufón for every bit of language on the page -- doing so can be resource-intensive. Generally you want to use custom fonts in headings so that's what I've chosen to do below.
copyCufon.replace('#cufon-area h1, #cufon-area h2, #cufon-area h3');
In my experience, Cufón looks better than both sIFR and image methods. Be sure to check out Cufón as it's an outstanding tool and I look forward to seeing where the project goes. What are your thoughts?

---------------------------------
Example
---------------------------------
<script type="text/javascript" src="/xyz/sites/all/themes/paydayok_theme/js/cufon-yui.js"></script>
<script src="/safeloans/safeloans/sites/all/themes/paydayok_theme/js/cufon-replace.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/xyz/sites/all/themes/paydayok_theme/js/Covered_By_Your_Grace_400.font.js"></script>
---------------------------------------------
cufon-replace.js
---------------------------------------------
Cufon.replace('h1, .view-testimonial-block_1, #cufon-area h3');
Cufon.replace('h1, h1#page-title', { fontFamily: 'Covered By Your Grace' });
Cufon.replace('h1 span,#news label', { fontFamily: 'Covered By Your Grace' });
Cufon.replace('ul.starlist li a,#content a.more,#news .button,.gallery, #header .nav a', { fontFamily: 'Covered By Your Grace',hover:true});
