FontJazz does not take the usual road, where an image is generated on the server-side, for every headline – an approach that is rather ineffective. Instead, FontJazz implements a simple type-rendering engine in JavaScript, which means that any headlines are rendered 100% client-side, without any kind of server-side dependencies or bandwidth overhead.

Unlike traditional web-font solutions, FontJazz requires the user’s browser to fetch only a single image and a tiny  JavaScript file, and only once for any number of headlines.

The JavaScript uses DOM and works with IE5+, Firefox 2+, Opera 9+, Google Chrome and most likely any other standards-compliant browser.  You can click here to read license information or visit here to download.

Facelift Image Replacement (or FLIR, pronounced fleer) is an image replacement script that dynamically generates image representations of text on your web page in fonts that otherwise might not be visible to your visitors.  
The generated image will be automatically inserted into your web page via Javascript and visible to all modern browsers. Any element with text can be replaced: from headers (<h1>, <h2>, etc.) to <span> elements and everything in between!

FLIR is beta software and available free of charge. Head over to the download page to get started. If you don’t know what to do next? Take a look at quick start guide.
