Negative text-indent is a problem if images are off and background images
are also a problem with high contrast mode.
You could try something like this:

Or like Kepler suggested, just use the alt attribute of the image.

How about just using the alt attribute on the image?

Hi there,

I have used FontJazz in the past, you can use any font and it is very easy to 
implement, just one small javascript file.

Check it out, just Google FontJazz

[WSG] image substitution

[Lucien Stals]

The designers have specified a font I must use to write a sites name in the top 
banner. It is not a standard font, and I don't think it's licensed for 
redistribution anyway.

I think my only option is to generate an image for the banner using the right 
font (or is there a better option?). 
What is the current best practice for having an accessible text banner, while 
showing the image based banner?

Are we still using the trick of shifting the text off the side of the screen 
with negative positioning? Or is there a better, more accessible way?

Thanks.
