Facelift Image Replacement - for designers
Just came across FLIR:
Facelift Image Replacement (or FLIR, pronounced fleer) is an image replacement script that dynamically generates image representations of text on your web page in fonts that otherwise might not be visible to your visitors. The generated image will be automatically inserted into your web page via Javascript and visible to all modern browsers.
If you are interested, make sure to read the facelift blog .. some updates are posted there

Thanks for sharing. Seems like a great idea, do you know if are there any drawbacks, say, regarding accessibility and indexing by search engines?

Re: Facelift Image Replacement - for designers
Hi Jan,
i was pointed to facelift recently though did not give it a try yet. Regarding search engines it should be no prob cause the headlines (as text) still appear in the sourcecode.
Visit their form for further infos.
facelift is similar to sIFR which i implementetd a couple of times 3 years back and it worked fine. Drawback of sIFR was rather code or accessibility but rendering of the images (headlines) took longer than the rest of texts which irritated customers/clients. Today connections are much faster (at least here in germany) so maybe the rendering process is faster too?

I can thoroughly recommend zem_ir. It works well and the images are cached, so they’re displayed pretty quickly.
