Dynamic Text Replacement

Ooooooh…Stewart Rosenburger uses PHP and Javascript to dyamically replace text. No more manually creating cool-looking headers in Photoshop!
To see what I’m talking about, click here for the demo and view the source.
Cool. I knew that PHP could dynamically create images like that, but I didn’t know it would take a normal TTF font file. Nice.
Yah…now…if only i had time to implement it…
If the .ttf file is large, does that signifcantly slow down the download time and rendering of pages? We’ll have to do some tests.
The size of the .ttf file shouldn’t affect the download size, because what the browser is downloading is the final image, not the font. Overall this technique probably does slow down the download and page rendering time, though.
