Cufon not working properly in latest Google Chrome #282
Comments

It could depend on the font (e.g. if there are overlaps). In any case there
have been no updates for half a decade, it's not entirely unexpected for
things to break.

As you can see here a very common font as Arial doesn't render and it has nothing to do with overlaping https://jsfiddle.net/aouqfy0e/ I really hope you could fine the time to fix it.. Cufon is really a great library :) This rendering error started almost a year ago on tablets (Android/Apple) and on the Safari browser (desktop/tablet).. But not its also happening on the latest release on Google Chrome, så now its almost on every browser |

Have you decided if the project has to die or keep it alive some years yet? If this bug isn't fixed it will surely die this right day :( |

I would appreciate a little more patience. I haven't touched the code for
years, and I have other things to do as well. It's not like I'm going to
put highest priority on this. You could make it easier for me by starting
to look into the issue and sharing your findings. If it's not an issue with
overlapping (of which I'm not entirely convinced about), then it likely has
something to do with the actual rendering. You could start by looking at
the element inspector and checking if the canvases are there at all.

I fully understand that, but it would also be nice to know what your intensions are about the project :) As I already mentioned - I think this is a great project and I think it would be a waste if it would end up broken for common use.. I can understand you don't have time to fix minor bugs I have already shared an example on jsfiddle that shows the issue with a very common font like Arial I'm quite sure it has something to do with the rendering part.. All chars are rendered but all letters which are either regtangular or squares aren't rendered correctly. The dimensions are totally off |

How did you generate the font?

I cant remeber.. But I think you had a website some years ago before the project was moved to github and I genereated the fonts at that website Its at least 5 years ago |

Also to clarify my intentions, as you can see from the current site, usage
has declined massively over the years, which is understandable. Basically
it means that it doesn't make sense to spend my time on the project. If
it's something easy I will try to fix it out of respect for old users, but
if massive changes are required, then probably not. It does not feel like
this would be something massive, though.

thanks :) no rush.. just good to know you will look into it.. And I don't think (hope) it need very big changed to make it work again |
|
But I have a question.. I understand you have other projects but why do you think this technology is outdated? CSS still can't render the fonts as beautiful as Cufon so I think the project could be quite usefull some years on |
|
It should be fixed now. I think it may be a browser bug though. It was caused by a hacky workaround for an Opera 9.2 bug. |
|
Thanks.. It works again :) |
For quite a while cufon have not been working properly in Safari on Apple and on Android tablets
Letters like l (lower case L), I (upper case i) and other chars which are either rectangular or squares can no longer be rendered correctly
Now I experience the same in the latest Google Chrome release.. So now Cufon doesn't work in most browsers
