jcombs_31 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Anyone use it? I decided to give it a try and the fonts all seem to come out blurry. Nothing looked crisp and using images seems to be a nicer alternative for headers. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/95943-sifr/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel0 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Wouldn't the load time increase if it has to download a lot of Flash files? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/95943-sifr/#findComment-491154 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcombs_31 Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 There is only 1 flash file, and it is small. I just contains the embedded font. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/95943-sifr/#findComment-491160 Share on other sites More sharing options...
neylitalo Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I believe I've seen it in use, and the only conclusion that I've come to is that it's too client-intensive for me. And I'd rather not use Flash, in general - I'm of the opinion that it's better to not burden your users with the responsibility of making your website work properly. There is only 1 flash file, and it is small. I just contains the embedded font. What happens if there are multiple places where the flash applet is used? Article titles for a blog, for example.

ober Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I read up on this when it hit a few years ago and the benefits don't necessarily outweight the added burden, IMO. I'm also not a huge flash fan because I'm a proponent of accessibility. Good luck if you really stick with it.
