Everyone seems praising @font-face for being available on both desktop and mobile platforms, but there's the small issue of it looking terrible in the browsers most people are currently using. I've been using cufón for headlines because, unlike sIFR, it supports everyone because it uses VML for IE and canvas technology for everyone else (including Apple's mobile platforms). I'd rather not have to use it, though; I'd rather use @font-face because it uses native browser functionality. Unfortunately it just doesn't look good a lot of the time. This is a huge issue.
