Zoom hover problem with Cufon text in Safari and Chrome #76

Open Rosie opened 14 years ago

In Safari (4.0.3) and Chrome (3.0.195.33), on zooming in, hovering over cufon text enlarges (doubles?) the font size of the text. The text remains enlarged even after zooming out, and the text size is only restored if the page is reloaded. Any clues?

Did you find a fix to this? I'm having the same issue..

Rosie commented 14 years ago

Sadly, no. The problem persists with later versions of the browsers: Mac OS X Safari 4.0.5 and Chrome 5.0.375.55; Win XP Safari 4.0.5, Chrome 4.1.249.1064 as well as IE6.

For the moment I'll have to hope that any vision-impaired users who zoom in on the text are using Firefox or (gasp!) IE7 or IE8.

Please let me know if you find a fix.

p.s. I just downloaded a later version of cufon.js (http://github.com/sorccu/cufon/tree/master/js/); this seems to have fixed the problem in Safari, but not in Chrome.

They seem to finally have fixed this bug in WebKit:
