    Pros of SIFR
    * Text can be selected
    * Does not violate EULA or copyrights, since font is contained within the SWF object
    * You can easily add shadows, anti-aliasing, and other text effects in Flash

    Cons of SIFR
    * Slightly slower load times
    * Requires both JavaScript and Flash to be enabled

    Pros of Cufon
    * Faster load times than SIFR and FLIR, since it is all JS and nothing more
    * Has all the strengths of Typeface.js with fewer weaknesses.

    Cons of Cufon
    * Violates EULA and copyrights due to fonts being embedded. Not many fonts are permitted to be rendered with this method
    * Text cannot be selected
    * You can’t apply a hover state to converted text
