I've been experimenting with SIFR -- it uses Flash instead of PHP,
and the best part of it is that the Flash replacement text behaves
like text, not grapics.
ie. it appears semantically in the markup, and is selectable ie. cut-
and-paste work! -- on the rendered page.
Further, it degrades beautifully ... if people don’t have Flash
or .js enabled, they just see text.
Check it out:

and an example page:

Hope this is helpful.

Peter

Shlomi,
In addition to suggesting font families in CSS, you can also
mandate fonts using "Dynamic Text Replacement":
If you're using PHP you can create image files on the fly
containing any font you install on your site. It's not fast enough
to be practical for body text, but it works fine for the occasional
headline.
Your first step will be to purchase a copy of the font(s) you'll be
using.
Here's an example, a site in which the burgandy-colored headlines
are generated on the fly:
http://216.70.101.89/ (under construction)
The technique relies on JavaScript, converting text to images and
storing the original text as img alt. When either images or
JavaScript is disabled, the headlines render as plain text. It's
accessible and it degrades gracefully.
This technique uses PHP image functions: http://php.net/image
I've modified a script written by Stewart Rosenberger and described
