Cufon Line-Height Not Working

    I'm using the Cufon module on my Drupal 6.x site to embed a font (it works great - you can see the text in the source for search-engine friendliness, yet the users see the nice new font on the page). One of the drawbacks, of course, is the text is not selectable. Other than that, everything has been working great until now - for some reason it's not recognizing my line-height CSS command!

    I know the problem lies with Cufon because when I remove the selector used to activate the font (so the text falls back to a normal web font), the line-height kicks in.

    Any ideas how to get line-height working with Cufon?

    Try setting your document header to use the XHTML Strict DocType (as opposed to Transitional). For example:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

    For some reason the Cufon font line-height attribute only works using the XHTML Strict DocType.

    I am having the same problem with my Joomla site I am developing. Can this solution be applied in Joomla and if so how?

    Should work the same in Joomla. Simply open your template file and replace the header with the snippet CWD mentions above.
