I had a major problem with IE9 beta as you know with two of my sites. It rejected the cufon.js for some reason and I am pushing them to fix it for the IE9 release.

You can take it back to IE7 or IE6 by replacing the 8 with 7,6.

It might be premature to worry about the I9 - it is still in Beta, so there's no telling what how things will function by the time it's officially released.

I concur, although the compatibility tag is still very useful

If you are worried about other people who have IE9 beta not being able to view your special fonts, recode them with @font-face which should work in IE9.
As said before, the final version of IE9 may be fine with Cufon and sIFR. I remember that IE8 beta had problems with my sites, especially drop down menus and filter (opacity), but the final version sorted it out.

No, I am not worried all my content looks fine when I went back to IE8 compatible. I will wait until they implement the cufon compatibility acceptance. I love the hand written text and the other amazing fonts cufon offers. I would rather wait for beta revamp, then hand code it to very few font choices in font-face.

There are hundreds here, http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface including hand-written fonts, but perhaps not the one you want.
Personally I doubt if I will ever use Cufon or sIFR now that all major browsers (all IE versions, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera) process @font-face.
