sIFR: Scalable Inman Flash Replacement
Ever wonder how to deliver custom typefaces to people who don’t have them installed without using graphics?
It’s quite a catch-22 isn’t it? You use graphics and your search engine ranking goes down and in some cases, the page simply doesn’t show up since all the good stuff is in the images.
If you don’t use images, hey it’s getting the content across but does it have to look so ugly? Why are we stuck with a handful of fonts? How about a recently updated technique that will show proper text in the fonts of your choice, on majority browsers and yet render XHTML pages where not supported so that your page is fully accessible *and* search-able…
Introducing sIFR: Scalable Inman Flash Replacement. Very cool.
