    Just an FYI, I've seen both Monotype and Adobe explicitly allow Cufon as a use of their typefaces. :)

    Paul,
    Thanks for the great write up on @font-face. I was totally perplexed about the smiley face.

    I love your squiggle drawing in the margins effect. That is super fun. I want to play with the math on that. Is there a write up on how to implement it anywhere, or just view source? I have a page where it would be perfect and I'd like to add color.

    Thanks again, Paul.
    Darin

    Hello Paul,
    This slideshow explain a lot of what countless articles failed to do even together. However, I had a question and I apologise if it is a noob question, but: On slide 39 of the custom slideshow you talk about protecting the font file and securing its link. How and where would one put the code that is on slide 39? And, I apologise if this is asking too much, but would you be willing to elaborate more on protecting the links to commercial fonts and how to do so if you don't mind.

    I would really appreciate it.

    Thanks in Advance,
    Irfan.

    @Irfan M
    Irfan, these days use the font squirrel generator and use the WebOnly mode. That's best.

For code blocks, use <pre lang="javascript">. css and html4strict are also accepted.
