I am using Cufon on a wordpress site and its working with Din typeface.
No £ signs are displaying?
Has anyone come across this problem?
I have created the js file with all the necessary glyphs...
Thanks in advance.

thanks but thats nothing like the Din I am using. And to be honest I cannot change how I am doing this now - Cufon is used all over the place.

I assume you selected 'punctuation' when selecting which glyphs to include?
If so, then I am stumped! I had a similar problem once that no matter what I did certain punctuation glyphs didn't show... Used webFonts instead which was a major pain because like you Cufon was all over the place.

Just so you know webfonts.fonts.com (which i now use) has DIN.

Thanks guys. Yep, I won't be using cufon in future.
Its sorted now anyway - I rebuilt the js file and they appeared! Have no idea why as I set it to do all punctuation previously.
It is a clunky solution.
Out of interest what is everyones preferable web font technology these days? Webfonts?

I have used webfonts.fonts.com and Typekit and much prefer webfonts.fonts.com, it has a great selection and is well priced and always seems to be quick... Only slight niggle if the site itself stinks and isn't the most logical.

FYI - @font-face is not a CSS3 feature really.
"Not exactly a feature which is new to CSS3, @font-face was first proposed for CSS2 and has been implemented in Internet Explorer since version 5! However, their implementation relied on the proprietary Embedded Open Type (.eot) format, and no other browsers decided to use this format. With the release of Safari 3.1, however, website makers can use any licensed TrueType (.ttf) or OpenType (.otf) font in their pages."
