Sistr, which stand for SIFR (Shaun Inman Flash Replacement) for Microsoft Silverlight, is a rich font replacement technology without having to create multiple jpegs or other files.
All you have to do is just to embed the js files and create your rich font title with some simple js.
Sample Usage:
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.sistr.js"></script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("h1").sistr({
font: "Arial",
size: 22,
color: "#FFCC00"
});
});
