Yes, I'm now testing my stuff and I have the same problem, discussed elsewhere in this forum too. The meta-tag is a useful hack as it saves th euser having to switch to "compatibility mode". I guess an update to typeface.js would sort it...

I'm having the same problem. It seems to be in the handling of the "styleSheet.addRule(..."
There must have been some changes in this because IE8 believes the typeface script is passing an invalid argument.

Dang, Just set an entire page up and had the same problem when I finally went to go test it with IE8.
This is a bummer. Works great in both FF and GC right now.
I will give the META TAG a try and see if that helps.
I'll check back here later, hopefully we'll see an update to typeface.js -- 'cause you know MS isn't going to fix it on their end.
Thanks.
P.S. Just noticed I am getting the same error on this site (I used IE8 while it was open to come here.. hah.)

The problem is that IE8 has dropped support for VML, but hasn't added support for canvas, so compatibility mode is really the only way to keep this script running.
Perhaps we will have to start using EOT. The next generation of modern browsers all support css font embedding.

This guy has figured it out.
Cufón seems pretty similar to typeface.js, perhaps you guys could get together.

Have a look here: http://typeface.neocracy.org/forum/topic.html?id=214
It works with IE 8 - but for me not properly good.

First of all, love your script :-)
With the new release of internet explorer 8, i noticed that typeface doesn't work in this browser. Are you aware of this, and do you (or anyone else) have a fix for this?
I'm now applying a meta tag which renders the page as IE7 (in IE8), but that is just a temporary solution in the way i see it.
The meta tag: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
Thanks!
