Fading problems with Cufon elements on IE

I have a slideshow running with textquotes. These quotes contain a custom font provided by cufon. This all works fine. However when the slideshow fades in or out, the text gets a dark border or shadow. I think its a transparancy issue in IE but I can't 开发者_运维百科find a solution.

I'm using the jQuery plugin Cycle for my slideshow, and it has some IE opacity and cleartype fixes but none work.

Any ideas ?

Thanks!

This is an old question, but because people might still end up here when searching for similar issues, I'd like to add the "solution".

De solution is quite simple really. Use @font-face. Just like Mottie suggested. I ended up switching to a different but very similar font that did not have the beforementioned issues with @font-face.

As far as I can tell it's not possible to fix it by use of cufon in any way that does not involved seeing flickering texts or any other rendering issue.
