Title as image
Posted: Mon Apr 23, 2007 3:57 pm
Is there any add-ons that simply convertsĀ text into a graphic ?
You will ask why should be necessary ? You can already make your title become an image in your favourite application and then, set a title through CSS - it'all in the documentation. You'r right but it's not enough.
Immagine you design a page for a customer and title should be FantasyFont, 17 px. Now immagine that the probability for that font to be not found on a computer isĀ 99,9%, so that you already know that the page won't look like you - the designer - did want !
The only possibility is to transform the title in a graphic and if you are not the writer but the designer.
Writer can not ask for every title he needs !
I know that GD library probably can do that if font is intalled somewhere in the server. But it's hard to code for me. (becouse I'm a designer and not a coder) So I'm looking for that possibility as a tag (maybe like {mytitle type='h2' text='mytitle' font='myfantasyfont.ttf'} that would produce a html code like mytitle and add to the page some CSS like
#mytitle h2{display:none;}
#mytitle {width: the width of the graphic element; height: idem with height;background-image: url(myTitle.png);}
If someone know that it already exists, could he provide me with a link ?
thanks.
