Flutterby™! :

Designers run amok: The Seven Stages of Type Appreciation advocates:

Use type on your Web site! Even if that means setting some type as a .gif graphic. GIF type can actually be quite compact, fast to load, and add a lot of distinction and personality to your site.

Now I admit that Flutterby does specify type in the titles, but the point of HTML was to provide display independent content (anyone remember content?), and it's easy enough to set up your browser to read Flutterby and other similarly designed sites with the fonts that you're most used to. Recently I've turned off all image loading in my browsers (it's no longer as easy to get to in the latest Netscape as it was with v3) and the web has become a much neater place. So, be warned, use gifs for text and chances are I'll never see your page; I've been so disappointed on most sites where I have to hit "load images" to navigate them that chances are if I have to I won't give yours a second look. But then, alas, I am not a market sample.
