sIFR 3.0 Alpha released
20 June 2006, with Tags: css | Comments enabled
We use version 2 on CSSBloom.
sIFR is meant to replace short passages of plain browser text with text rendered in your typeface of choice, regardless of whether or not your users have that font installed on their systems. It accomplishes this by using a combination of javascript, CSS, and Flash.
New Features:
* A new font sizing algorithm, although it needs some attention with regards to padding and wrapping in the Flash element.
* FlashCSS, both configurable in ActionScript and in JavaScript.
* Support for Flash 8 movies, for real good looking text.
* Font resizing in Opera 7+.
* Support for leading
* Flash movie pre-fetching for Internet Explorer and Safari.
* Easier configuration.
* No more object tab obscuring the text when AdBlock is being used.
