sIFR on the Fly
How to create wonderful typography for your website? Instead of image based, usually you get it with sFIR, a technique to burn a font via flash, and then called the flash in your regular page.
Scalable Inman Flash Replacement (sIFR) is an open source JavaScript and Adobe Flash based technology initially developed by Shaun Inman and improved by Mike Davidson and Mark Wubben that enables the replacement of text elements on HTML web pages with Flash equivalents.– sIFR Wiki
How if you didn’t have flash? There are two solution I knew. Try Fontburner.
Font Burner is a website enhancement tool that makes it easy for you to add new fonts to your website. Websites are basically limited to the default fonts that come with all computers. That’s because a user must have the fonts installed on their computer in order to have it show up in their browser. Font Burner bypasses this limitation with our archive of fonts that work universally in all browsers and on all computers. By adding a simple block of code to your webpages you can transform your headlines from boring system fonts to any of the quality fonts found here at Font Burner!
Or, try sIFR generator where you can make flash file required for sIFR generation just by following their wizard. Cool.
Warning: sIFR may slows your page rendering as the effect of loading flash file and also the process of JavaScript to replacing text with flash based fonts required a bit of time! #

I’ve known about this for a very long time but didn’t have the courage to implement it until just a few months ago in my blog. It was (and is still) fun. The major drawback is that you have to know what your replacement font(s) would be when Flash is not supported. Also, it should be used with caution.
