Like sIFR, typefaces.js allows you to use any typeface you want, whether it’s on your visitor’s system or not. However, instead of using Flash, typefaces.js generates fonts using the <canvas> element. It’s not just a lighter solution, but going Flash-free means it can potentially work on mobile platforms as well as for desktop browsers.

Converting fonts is a breeze, installing the scripts effortless, and watching a transformed page gratifying. Use this script!

This is a work in progress, but functional enough at least to render the the graphic text on this site. Here’s what it takes to get going: load the typeface.js library and some typeface.js fonts, then proceed like normal: PLAIN TEXT HTML: [...] [...] Thanks to Nexus I saw a new project called typeface.js that offers a solution to typeface management (where you can use any typeface that you want, whether it be on the users system or not) without using Flash (which the popular, oft-mentioned sIFR uses): Instead of creating images or using flash just to show your site’s graphic text in the font you want, you can use typeface.js and write in plain HTML and CSS, just as if your visitors had the font installed locally.
