    Hello,
    To have custom fonts on my site i was planning on using SiFr http://www.mikeindustries.com/sifr/ but in the documentation it says "
    What you should use sIFR for

    sIFR is intended for headlines. While it is possible to use sIFR to replace other elements, such as paragraphs or list items, this is not recommended. Please also be careful with replacing links: browsers treat links in Flash movies differently than normal HTML links, so you may hurt usability if you use sIFR to replace links.

    So, my question is would the spiders see the website in flash format or will just see the headlines and links in the normal text format like in the source code it shows at the example site : http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/files/sifr/2.0/

    Also Anyone using Sifr for their sites ?

    Thanks

    Haven't used it but I can tell you with complete certainty that robots will not crawl JS. They will crawl Flash but they may run into issues.

    google ignores javascript codes on your web pages.

    if you have an option, i dont suggest you to use flash with your site.

    google has problems with flash and javascript
