As a web designer one of the things I struggle with is clients wanting crazy fonts as part of their website.  Traditionally there are only a few font families available for use with CSS.  The reason for this is that all fonts render differently depending on the system they are being viewed on.  So by keeping them to a minimum the webpage will look its best on as many computer as possible.

However, ocassionaly it would be nice to use a different font (image) and not suffer the consequences of not being seen as text by a search engine.  Well recently I came across a pretty neat set of PHP code that allows exactly that.  It allows you to choose any font that you own and have pure coded text turned into an image.  The browser and therefore the search engine still sees it as text so you suffer no consequences of using an image.  I love it.
