In response to this (and yes, I did approve the comments because I want people to publicly know what I have to say about it):

#1 I am NOT using a plugin. I’m using straight cufon. if there *is* a WP plugin, that would be awesome to know about it.

#2 After I received both the comment and the email, I checked myself in IE, both 7 and 8, on both XP and Vista. I also have a fine network of web design colleagues I’m a part of, and I put them question to them, as well. There is absolutely no problem seeing the cufon in IE7 or 8 that we have found. So I can only assume you cannot see it because you have a particular browser setting you are not sharing.

#3 You also do not mention what you *do* see. Because you say you “can’t see cufon” I can only assume you see the alternative text which *does* appear if you have javascript shut off.

#4 If you’re viewing in standalone versions, you won’t see it, because standalones don’t render it properly (this includes – as much as I am aware of – BrowserCam as well). If you’re using a standalone version, then I assume you’re a web designer of some kind (because “normal” people don’t use standalone versions – the only people I know that do are designers who use them to check websites). If that is the case, I can only assume you’re a competing designer who was checking it and didn’t see anything, and wanted to try and make me look bad on my own site. I know I, as a professional, would tell another designer this about their site privately in order to assist them, and provide contact information so they could ask me questions if they needed to so they could fix it. You did neither – so I’m *hoping* that this option is not the case. That would be really bad form on your part.

#5 if you were viewing in IE6, I don’t support IE6 anymore. The browser is outdated and unsafe. That’s by design. I *can*, but I choose not to. So if it’s IE6. well…you should be updating your browser.
