Another thing to consider is that many Windows users have the Office suite or at least MS Word which comes with many fonts preslected for installation. Also look at the fonts used by OpenOffice and other popular opensource editors.

These additional fonts are also good potential candidates for your font-family!

Comments:

Optimized dynamic generation of Flash movies bound using javascript to provide rich Font experience regardless of the client. Degrades gracefully. Looks interesting when you just HAVE to have that PERFECT font.

Note that it is NOT intended for full paragraphs or any type of extended passages. Serves a similar function as Text Images.

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

sIFR is a powerful tool. So powerful, in fact, that you can completely ruin a web page with it if you get overzealous and don’t exercise restraint.

sIFR is for headlines, pull quotes, and other small swaths of text

type which accents the rest of the page. Body copy should remain browser text.
