Using fancy fonts in webpages

Hello,

I just ran across this:
http://www.wowdirectory.com/dir/20912/1.php

I was wondering how they managed to use that cursive font on on a webpage. It is not an image. I'm fairly sure (not positive) that I do not have this font installed on my machine.

How are they doing this?

He's using javascript and a flash script to create the text. So it's copyable and has a good impact lovely.

if(typeof sIFR == "function")
{

sIFR.replaceElement("h2", "http://www.wowdirectory.com/maincontent.swf", "#666666", null, null,  0, 0, 0, 0);
sIFR.replaceElement("h3", "http://www.wowdirectory.com/Eau De Cologning.swf", "#FFFFFF", null, null,  0, 0, 0, 0);
sIFR.replaceElement("h4", "http://www.wowdirectory.com/Eau De Cologning.swf", "#FFFFFF", null, null,  0, 0, 0, 0);

 };

Code (markup):

 

Pretty nice site, Well designed I might add.

 

Thanks.

I wonder if this kind of javascript could cause SEO / spidering problems.

On platforms that don't support the techniques used , a large black font is used (for the Music in Local...), so I would assume that it shouldn't cause any trouble (also assuming that the coding is done well, I didn't check).
