sIFR alternative

After my successful attempt with sIFR3, I also tried Flir. But this was miserable failure. I just could not work it out to use it.
Then today I got sIFR alternative javascript cufon. This was so easy to implement. I downloaded a free true type font and used a generator and download it. All I need to do is to add cufon.js and the downloaded js. It was so smooth and easy to implement.

sIFR

When I was playing around with jquery plugin sIFR, I noticed that downloaded sIFR3 files from http://www.sifrvault.com/ do not work with this plugin.

http://jquery.thewikies.com/sifr/

Then I found this.

You can download the latest version from here.
http://wiki.novemberborn.net/sifr3/nightlies
Unzip it and you can find demo folder in the zip. And put it in a server, i.e xampp.

Access it by typing this to webaddress.
http://localhost/sifr3-r436/demo/index.html

I downloaded some fonts from sifrvault.com and tested it and it works perfectly.
Please note that I have to put flash files in design so src is design/myflash.swf.

     var cochin = {
      src: 'design/cochin.swf '
      ,ratios: [7, 1.32, 11, 1.31, 13, 1.24, 14, 1.25, 19, 1.23, 27, 1.2, 34, 1.19, 42, 1.18, 47, 1.17, 48, 1.18, 69, 1.17, 74, 1.16, 75, 1.17, 1.16]
    };

    var rockwell = {
      src: 'design/rockwell.swf '
      ,ratios: [6, 1.41, 9, 1.35, 15, 1.29, 21, 1.25, 22, 1.22, 27, 1.24, 29, 1.21, 34, 1.22, 41, 1.21, 45, 1.2, 46, 1.21, 59, 1.2, 68, 1.19, 69, 1.2, 96, 1.19, 97, 1.18, 102, 1.19, 103, 1.18, 107, 1.19, 108, 1.18, 112, 1.19, 114, 1.18, 116, 1.19, 120, 1.18, 121, 1.19, 1.18]
    };
var futura = { src: 'design/Futura.swf' };
var acme_explosive = { src: 'design/acme_explosive.swf' };
var snell_roundhand = { src: 'design/snell_roundhand.swf ' };
var avantgarde_md_bt = { src: 'design/AvantGarde_Md_BT.swf ' };
