    pretty simple really, I have a client who wants non-web safe fonts on their site and I'm not sure which road to go down; @font-face or sIFR. Can anyone give me some pros and cons for each (esp. in terms of browser compatibility).

    Many thanks!

    as of now sIFR is the best way to go.

    @font-face is css3 which isnt supported by the current version of IE.

    sIFR embedds the font so its supported by all browsers.

    hope this helps

    I thought IE had supported font-face for quite some time (strangely so for MS IE)

    Use Cufon instead of SIFR.
