My site is not displaying any titles in ie9. It works perfectly with firefox. Are there any settings that I should know about?

Please advise

Thanks

I am having the same issue. My site is fine with Chrome 10.x, Safari 5.x, Firefox 3.x and 4.x, Opera 11.x, and Internet Explorer v7.x and 8.x. Sometimes, the titles display for a brief moment when I refresh the articles using EEv9 in articles, but then they immediately disappear. They titles never appear in Photoslide GK3. Please assist. Thanks. Here is my site: http://nedshead.net

The problem seems to be with the Cufon fonts. Changing to Font Squirrel, Google Font API, or Standard Fonts reveals the Titles in IEv9; however, the none of these fonts look quite as nice as Cufon. For now, I have enabled Standard Fonts in my template as a work around. How can I fix this so that I can use Cufon?

I am also having a similar problem. While I was able to get the titles to work in IE9 and retain the Cufon fonts, they seem to be disappearing in IE8.

Any help will be appreciated.

thanks again

Here is the work-around I used:

[*]
[*]1. Set my template to standard font in the Joomla template manager.
[*]2. Downloaded Cufon version 1.09i from this site, http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate.
[*]3. The file is named cufon-yui.js.
[*]4. Renamed cufon.js to cufon.old in my /public_html/templates/gk_corporte2/js folder on my server.
[*]5. Uploaded cufon-yui.js to my /public_html/templates/gk_corporte2/js server folder.
[*]6. Renamed cufon-yui.js to cufon.js on my server.
[*]7. Re-enabled Cufon fonts in Joomla template manager.


Cufon fonts now appear in BOTH IEv8 and IEv9, which is the ONLY browser (flavors) I was having a problem with. However, the title space (height) in my articles is still too low to display the Cufon fonts completely. The lowercase hanging characters like "g, j, p, q, and y" are cut off at the bottom. Please assist regarding this.

Thanks again. I will give it a try. This has been a huge source of pain for me. I really like your site - and I have done some work with Butch in the past.

Hi there. Small world! I will let Butch know. Our site is really basic, but hope to enable some of the more advanced features later. Gotta shake out the bugs first and get the nav tighter. By the way, I just switched the DNS server settings. The site should be ready to see in 24-48 hours. http://vantagehrs.com

While my solution works to make the titles appear in IEv8 and IEv9, it doesn't really solve the problem. When I refresh my pages in IEv8 and IEv9, the font jumps from a default font to my selected font, shifting the articles slightly as the page adjusts. Does anyone have a permanent fix for this font problem? Thanks.

I have the most recent updates applied to my template (v2.0.14), and I replaced the following files:

- templateDetails.xml
- admin/elements/googlefonts.php
- js/cufon.js
- layouts/blocks/cufon.php

Gavick support, please review my site here and tell me why you think the article title font renders a basic font (Tahoma) before the Cufon script changes the font correctly. This happens in both IEv8 and IEv9 and Safari v5.x. My site looks fine in Chrome v10.x, Firefox v3.x and 4.x, and Opera 11.x.
