Thanks Peter - this article is actually what made me want to ask you all this question :) I remember this method being discussed a couple of times here (or something similar to it), but not in the context that I'd like, really (didn't answer the questions I have). >>you don't need Flash to use image replacement techniques. You can make heading images using your graphic program of choice, and just link in the image as desired.<< True - but the site I want to do this for is dynamic, and I need "on-the-fly" headers. I liked the sIFR method because all I had to do was specify a class for the "special" header, and it would render it as needed - rather than having to go to the trouble of making an image, uploading and linking to it every time I wanted to use it. >>You run into the problem of font licenses << This actually isn't a concern for me, because I never plan to use any fonts that are not free (in fact, the one that started this quest *is* a freely available font, with a GNU license). As for the rest, I'm already prepared to have an alternative standard font to be in the "pretty" font's stead - I'm not planning to have this be something that I can force on people. It's just something nice to provide to people who are ready to see it - if javascript's shut off, or whatever - then a standard font is used, no problem (I'm not designing around the font, I'm just enhancing the current design a little bit with the availability of this - I don't expect everyone to see it.) I just wanted to know that, for people that *can* see it, if this would be a bad idea to use. It's not something that is required for my design to work (it would be insane for me to think I could be!), but it's just a "little something extra" I wanted to add - but I wanted to be sure if I did it, it wouldn't be a detriment in any way. If it is, I'm abandoning the idea and going with what I have - which is honestly fine as it stands. ...and thanks for those links Eileen - I'll be reading up on it :) (And as a side note: "The Resurrection of Downloadable Web Fonts By Roger Johansson." - that's funny. My old boss in Minneapolis was names "Roger Johannson". I doubt he wrote an article on fonts though ;) ) Thanks all - and as always, any further input is well appreciated! ~Shelly ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
