Double text on Cufón using IE8

We had this very strange Cufón problem in IE, due to which we were unable to address. I think this has something to do with text that is hidden and muted.

The problem is that both cuffon and plain text are displayed (and I noticed that the tag that Cufón normally uses is replaced with <: cufon>). In any case, this happens in the native IE8 (not in IE8 IE9 mode).

The jsfiddle value is worth more than a thousand words: http://jsfiddle.net/Osoascam/vqnh3/1/ To test, click on the red circle so that the text moves to the left 4 times (for some strange reason, this only works on FF and IE, but it reproduces the IE8 error, so I can live with it).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is a screenshot:

Here is how it looks on IE8

Check the js plugins, disconnect them one by one and see which one is causing the problem.

The same thing happened for me using cufon 0.9 and modernizr 2.5.3, which includes an html5shiv script, and this one breaks cufon.

Solved my problem by replacing the production version of html5shiv inside modernizr script with the candidate html5shiv version (RC1) from github .

Good luck
