once upon a time some really good web developers created sIFR. Their goal was to seamlessly convert HTML headlines into nice fonts. Well, these developers did a great job getting it to work nicely. Looking at their code, I decided I would create a "lite" version of sIFR using a more object-oriented approach. sIFR Lite is a bit easier to read, and more intuitive to use. The only drawbacks are that it is currently unproven on a large scale in the real world. This library is of course open-source, so I welcome you to submit any improvements, suggestions, or bug reports using my contact form.

The jQuery sIFR Plugin is an addon for jQuery that makes it easy to replace text in a web page with flash text (sIFR).

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.

Fast text replacement with canvas and VML - no Flash or images required.

With typeface.js you can embed custom fonts in your web pages so you don't have to render text to images.
