sIFR is a cleverly designed flash program meant to enable you to post webpages with advanced fonts, which those reading may not have, without the use of images.

However, due to the use of flash you have to keep the advanced fonts to headings and the like, or it'll overload the recipients CPU, and take ages to load.

Still I may use this for my own site when I start working on it, to make every appearance of the term Kingreaper appear in a font I love known as "Abaddon".

Yeah, this post isn't funny. look at the next one. That's not funny either but it links somewhere funny.
I said GO LOOK AT THE NEXT ONE, you funny-junkies.

*Well, that might have been when I started. I don't actually know.

sIFR is meant to replace short passages of plain browser text with text rendered in your typeface of choice, regardless of whether or not your users have that font installed on their systems.

Interesting idea....I just wish it didn't use flash as all flash content messes up my ability to scroll down a page - but credit where it's due - the web does need some improvement in terms of fonts.
