cufon with jquery color

cufon with jquery color

I'm using jquery for a hover effect on my links and it works fine until I add cufon – then the color effect happens in reverse and very erratically. Is there anything here that looks like it would be causing a conflict?

<script src="js/cufon-yui.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/proximanova.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">Cufon.replace('li', {hover: true});</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.color.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function(){
   $(".link a").hover(function() {
   $(this).stop().animate({ color: "#fe5d43" }, 200);
   }, function() {
$(this).stop().animate({ color: "#838383" }, 400);
});



});

  </script>


Thanks for any advice!
