The benifits of this trick are

  • This is pure CSS trick, no Javascript or Flash. It works on most browsers including IE6 (PNG hack required).
  • It is perfect for designing headings. You don’t have to render each heading with Photoshop. This will save you time and bandwidth.
  • You can use on any web fonts and the font size remains scalable.



This trick has been tested on most browsers: Firefox, Safari, Opera, and even Internet Explorer 6.
