IE 7 - text appearing twice

[pratham2003]

The one on the left is IE and right is Firefox 11

I could not verify if it was the ALT text that was appearing on IE 7, could someone test it out if they have the resources available?

I'm having that same issue!

The problem is that both the cuffoned and normal text are shown (and I noticed that the tag that is normally used by Cufón is replaced by <:cufon>). Anyway, this happens in native IE8 (not the "IE8 mode" of IE9).

A jsfiddle 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 left (for some weird reason this only works on FF and IE, but it reproduces the IE8 error, so I can live with that).
