I am not too sure how new an idea or whether this is the prefered method now or even if this is archaic and no-one does it this way anymore.

 

I want to make large text, but not loose the nice smoothness that photoshop gives it. I have found sIFR's from what I can see this uses a javascript file to read the headers you point it to and then reads them into a flash file which then creates a nice smooth header within the flash movie.

 

I basically want a similar setup to the Manchester City Football pages (mcfc.co.uk) if anyone knows of a way of producing these headers I would much appreciate the advice or examples

 

Thanks in advance

There is an alternative to sIFR:-

which doesn't use Flash, but I've never used it.

 

However, it does use Javascript so you need to make sure that users with Javascript disabled will see something.

Cufon is great and you don't need to worry about if the user has js disabled. Cufon reads your header tags and converts them dynamically. If js is disabled, you simply see the header tag.

Thanks guys this is exactly what I wanted to know about.

I can vouch for cufon too. I used it for the first time the other day and it's really nice and simple to use!! I didn't have a single problem with it and I'm certain that if I used the sIFR type I would.
