Text Replacement… Without Flash

I always dreaded creating image headers for websites, but always saw the headers as the perfect place to add style and tie the content to the design. Then along came SiFR(www.mikeindustries.com/blog/sifr). I could now embed font in flash and use java script to call upon all the font, and css to provide additional style. Life was very good, besides the sporadic issues with the font not showing up in certain Microsoft browsers, have you heard of them.

But today I again revisited text-replacement and found typeface.js. It is just awesome and strictly a javascript based tool. I just used it for the first time on http://burningtreecellars.com, and it ease of implementation is astounding. If you are on the hunt for a standard based tool for text replacement, I can do nothing but highly recommend it.

Take it for a spin: Typeface.js (http://typeface.neocracy.org/)

Disclaimer: I have yet to run it through the gauntlet of browsers to verify cross browser compatibility but will keep you posted if weirdness rears its ugly head
