Full Version: Heading/ Site integrity question

Hello...

I'm pretty new to CSS.

I'm a pretty picky designer and really really want the headings on my pages to utilize certain fonts and maintain a certain look. Most of the fonts I want to use are not loaded on most computers (which my clients use) so they don't see what I want them to see.


I know a way around this is to make the text into an image so that everyone will be able to see my well-designed text. But that comprimizes the integrity of the site because then you have no headings listed in the code for google to find.

SO my question is: is it common practice to type out headings for your page using the same color as the background color of the page (so they will be invisible) and use images for the "visible" headings so that you can have a consistant handle on how your page is viewed?

I really appreciate any help I can get!!

Thanks,

There's a bunch of poular image replacement tequniqes. I'm not fond of them because they can backfire.

So, what's wrong with the good old alt attribute?
