Just wondering if anyone has cufon working with Silverstripe. Just starting to look into this, as I have always used Sifr, but wondered if anyone had this working? Also how hard would it be to make a cufon Module do you think?

I never heard of cufon, but it sounds interesting (for all others that are interested: http://wiki.github.com/sorccu/cufon).
Apparently, you can do the font conversion online (http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/), all that is left to do is add some JavaScript and you're done.
Creating a module for such a basic/simple thing seems like overkill. Or what did you have in mind for a module?
I guess a module could help with the intergration with Silverstripe, handle the requirements/file includes and make it a simpler option to intergrate with Silverstripe than Sifr which I find can be slow to load.
I see there is a wordpress module for Cufon that already exists, and I guess it may be worth looking at this to see what configuration options this offers and see whether a similar module could be made for Silverstripe
I'm replying awfully late however someone may like find this useful...
Silverstripe moves the order of the required javascript. Work within this and Cufon will work.
Stop putting js in the body (http://silverstripe.org/template-questions/show/4815)
_config.php
Requirements::set_write_js_to_body(false);Cufon.replace must be last so create the following to suit your needs
mysite/javascript/cufonreplace.js
Cufon.replace('h1')('h2')('h4');Page.ss head (at the end)
<% require themedCSS(layout) %>
...
<% require javascript(mysite/javascript/cufon-yui.js) %>
<% require javascript(mysite/javascript/mycufonfontfile.font.js) %>
<% require javascript(mysite/javascript/cufonreplace.js) %>Page.ss body(at the end, but before any other scripts)
<body>
....
<script type="text/javascript"> Cufon.now(); </script>
</body>Hope that helps
Adding the to
Requirements::customScript("Cufon.replace('h1')('h2')('h4');");
will load the Cufon call as last, so you can keep the js inclusion in the body.
