Typeface.js – Instead of creating images or using flash to show your site’s graphic text in the font you want, you can use typeface.js and write in plain HTML and CSS, just as if your visitors had the font installed locally.

The code is free and open source. Supported browsers include Firefox 1.5+, Safari 2+, and Internet Explorer 6+.

Things will degrade gracefully for other browsers. Users browsing with their PDA’s, for example, will still see your text there–it just won’t be quite as pretty.

Performance is fairly good for usage with page titles and headings for instance, but you’ll probably find using typeface.js for body text to be too slow.
