使用图像作为文本[关闭]

Question

My boss wants to create his own custom font using Photoshop, paint, or illustrator. He wants each letter to be multicolored or change colors and possibly have shadowing and wants to use this in his web site so that when people enter text it is not the simple black and white text you normally see. I have researched and know that you can create custom fonts with a font creator, but is it possible using code (java script or php) to insert the individual letter/symbol image into the text box or by using event handlers in Dreamweaver or with CSS. If so does anyone have a possible example or a site that you know does this. All help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

You could use @font-face(http://www.font-face.com/) to embed your custom font in the web page, then use some javascript(an algorithm to color every other letter) + CSS3(custom colors) to get the desired effect that your boss is looking for.

I recommend using @font-face or google web fonts rather than Cufon for performance reasons.

Good luck!
