sIFR is meant to replace short passages of plain browser text with text
rendered in the typeface of choice, regardless of whether or not your users
have that font >installed on their systems. Read more about how it works

When I first saw this my initial reaction was " I hope this is not another
thing encouraging people to use images to display text"
(I personally dislike people doing that... I think text should be
represented by text!)
.... however reading further it seems that the replacement is done
client-side by javascript, so in other words the text is still in the
page...
...so its probably not so bad.... non-flash and non-graphical browsers might
still be able to display the text.
- it might even be a good thing if it can persuade some people out there who
are using images to display text to use something like this instead.
It might even pass my old favourite test - the lynx test!
lynx was the first web browser I ever used back in 1994,
(back then I had a 386 with 2MB RAM and a 2400bps dialup modem and could not
run Mosaic or Netscape 1.1)
- so I guess that set my baseline standard for many years ... "if you can't
use it with lynx, its no good!"
