@Si Forster – I totally agree. We have some great options for text replacement nowadays, but ultimately, it still is text replacement. We should not have to replace text in the first place.

Bloody good article. Can’t really fault your approach. At the moment we’ve (http://www.enigma-interactive.co.uk) been using a lot of flash text replacement for websites like http://www.barbour.com and have found the results are great, but for accessibility and readability it is going to be important to bring font under some kind of standards sooner or later.
