You might remember my excuse for being a slow poster back in March. I am happy to announce that my home cinema is back up and taking visitors. It now looks like this:

I while ago I worked on a HTML site that would implement sIFR for a custom header font. This was my first attempt at using it and I decided I didn’t really like it that much. Mostly because of the large JavaScript files needed.
I thought to myself that making my own solution needn’t bee so hard so I did. Here it is; introducing SWFHeader!
It works roughly the same way as sIFR does, but it’s a whole lot more stripped down. Like sIFR you edit a FLA-file to embed the font you want to use and export it. Then you insert a few lines into your HTML page and include the JavaScript file required. Now I recognize the fact that sIFR’s code probably is as vast as it is for a reason. Maybe it has better legacy browser support, I don’t really know. What I do know is SWFHeader has worked fine for me and behaves well in IE6+7, Safari and Firefox, and that’s enough for me.
If you’re interested then take it for a spin. There are no fascinating terms of usage to tick off a check box for, nor are there any guarantees. Merely my own experience. Therefore I recommend you test it properly. If you like it (or not) please let me know!
