Client: Why is this site using Time new Roman? I would rather use this script font, I found on my computer.

Me:  You can’t use that font. Websites should only use fonts that are readily available on everyone’s computer.  And unfortunately that font isn’t on everyone’s computer.

I have written my own php scripts to automatically convert header text, text buttons, & etc to images. This has worked fairly well, but wasn’t very flexible.  Now I have finally found the ultimate image replacement plugin for Wordpress.

Facelift Image Replacement (FLIR) for WordPress is a plugin that generates image representations of text on your web page in fonts that visitors would not normally be able to see.  The plugin was created By Dan Zappone, which is based on Facelift Image Replacement by Cory Mawhorter. With it you can replace the text of any html element with an image using any font. It is very robust & very easy to use. Check it out! It has made my life easier & my websites more beautify.
