I want to Displaying text as an Image on a webpage

    Is there a way to make text appear as an image on a webpage. I have seen this on many capture pages now and when it is loading, for a split second I can see the actual text and then it gets displayed as an image in a more attractive looking font. I'm not sure exactly how it works, whether it's some coding that pulls in a font and displayes it as an image. normally i can find stuff like this by Googling it so wandering if anyone can help me on this?

    I believe the question is rather about cufon fonts - Wasim - just google for "cufon" and ask again if that's not what you needed.
    If that's correct it depends on what kind of site do you use but is not that hard.

    Yes i think that's what i'm looking for, thanks. I'm trying to get hold of some code that can be added into a webpage that I can use every time I want to do this. I've seen it being done somewhere, just can't remember where, but know that you've put me in the right direction i can do a little more research now.

    Cheers !!

    Look on git hub for cufon. That's all you need.

    I didn't know that this could be done, I have been working with small bits and pieces of images when fully loaded give you a complete picture. If this can be done do you think that it would benefit SEO as well?
