Special Notes
- It is possible to use @font-face. However, using @font-face can produce incorrect width and height values when animations run as soon as the jQuery(document).ready() function fires. Google has a nice @font-face loader script but it is not a cross-browser solution. Because of this, if you choose to use @font-face fonts, it is best to add a “startDelay” to your first animation. I’ve found that about a second seems to do the trick.
- TextFX is not compatible with Cufon
- HTML 5 Doctype is not needed for the animation to work
