The file it provides you probably should not embed directly but rather write a control that wraps around it. Custom property perhaps? that will pull a file, set the image's alt text and possibly do some SEO magic around it. It's just that sometimes you encounter clients that will not settle on flash (like an iPhone enabled site) and yet they absolutely demand their custom font to be used. This might be a solution for you on those occasions. Mikael, the module does not really do anything much over what it says.

Is there any way of handling this? With flash we have fallback. This is a great idea for all of us tired of flash headers! :)

at first, but it still generates an image with a bit of margins on sides, so I need to explicitly go around it and clip all the transparency, but the initial image size is a fair aproximation of what’s needed.

Especially I like the flexibility which it offers. I have to mention about the regular expression – impressive! ;) One question ... how do you determine image width and height?

One question … how do you determine image width and height?
