I've used Cufon for a few years, but I'm now going to switch over to FontSpring. I've been redesigning my photo site, and Cufon is causing an issue with an expand/collapse menu. FontSpring has the same font I use, and you can store them on your own server.
- Cufon allows for localization BUT you need to get around a few issues with other java applications...ideaist

font spring charges $2400 for a single application use licence.
for that kind of money i want the original cast metal type as well...
