I have amassed an amazing assortment of alphabets (could not resist the use of alliteration) over the years in the form of TrueType and OpenType fonts. I always try to have just that right look for my work in print. I have always found it annoying that I could not be as liberal with fonts in my web work. I tried several of the dynamic font loaders but was never satisfied with the uniformity of the finished page under different browsers. Today, I am working (finally) on the rest of the web site and I wanted something unique for the section headings.
Thanks to a tweak from A List Apart, I have replaced the simple text headings on the rest of my web site with stylish ones. They are dynamically generated using PHP and GD magic. The nice part is that I can easily change the font when ever I feel like it . Just upload a new font file, tweak the script, and it is off and running.
For many, many site design ideas, A List Apart is a wonderful place to start.
Update: I liked them so much that I added them here, too!
