Get Started

hello,

You know, there are this blogs with fantastic not pixeled titles of every posting. The fonts look so smoothly and the pages so professional because of this.

I have on question: How can you make automatically generated post titles, which are not a normal text - you can mark - but instead is a title generated as picture?

If you don’t know what i mean, here are example pages.
I have seen this on several pages. Just look at the titles of the posting of this sites.

How is this method called?
Where can I get a code example?
Where can I get a useful tutorial to achieve that?
With which script language can you achieve this?

thx

Matthias

Both of those sites use Cufon for the styled title. You can also research @font-face. For more info check out Font Squirrel | Create Your Own @font-face Kits

I never actually used Cufon. I just hit “insect element” to see how these sites did it. Is there any benefit to using Cufon over @font-face or was it the way to embed fonts before mainstream browser support came available?

Cufon is okay, but it’s less modern and relies on JavaScript. The new @font-family protocols are a better alternative. (And I love Cufon!)
