Ask News.YC: Is there anybody here who uses sIFR and is it at all practical?
It is explained in detail here:

I've been thinking of using it as the main font and then having the default CSS-based font kick in in case javascript/flash is not available.
Anybody currently using it themselves?
- bitsantos 19y agoI've had a few problems making it work like I want it to in IE when I have multiple replacements but otherwise it's fantastic. Although I can only get one replacement (all of my site's h2's) to work, my entire site just looked a whole lot better. I highly recommend it if you think you really need it. Just make sure you don't use it for substantial amounts of text.
- aditya 19y agoSecond that, we had tons of problems with IE and sIFR on a fairly large site - and it is only good in SMALL amounts. We were doing the drop-down top navigation, the side navigation, footer links and some more aux links and it was slow as hell - I wouldn't recommend it if you can get by without it.
