Use Any Font In Your Websites With FLIR
5
Aug
FLIR (Facelift Image Replacement) is an image replacement script that enables you to use any font in your websites.
It is similar to sIFR but uses JavaScript + PHP rather than Flash.
Fonts to be used are pre-uploaded and a PHP script creates the image using these fonts. Later on the image is inserted via JavaScript.
PHP GD library can not render some fonts properly. For this reason FancyFonts plugin (optional & requires ImageMagick) is also integrated to FLIR and it can handle almost any font.
Requirements: PHP 4+, GD Library

Thanks for this, although I’ll probably stick with sIFR since my web host doesn’t like PHP, and I already have a pretty good sIFR setup going on.

Great. But, it’s still an image…which is not SEO friendly…which is the problem we already had…which makes this less than a productive solution. Why not save time and just use a jpg…considering that’s what you’re doing anyway.
@Zachary you’ve missed the point – it is brilliantly SEO friendly. To a search engine, it appears as plain text – to any end user it’s a lovely looking image
