I don’t know about you, but I’m getting pretty tired of the same old web-safe fonts on every site I see. Times here. Arial there. Helvetica thrown in for good measure. And lets not forget favorites like Courier.

If you’re a web designer who is as sick of using the same old worn out fonts in every one of your designs, then maybe its time to try something new.

FLIR, or the FaceLift Image Replacement tool, is a script designed to allow you to stop using images (or Flash) every time you want to add a unique font to your web designs. Through the magic of JavaScript and PHP, FLIR preloads the fonts that you desire, allowing them to appear on your page as if they had been loaded onto your visitor’s hard drive for years.

While it doesn’t work for every font, it does a great job on adding enough variety to a site to make it stand out from the pack. And, since FLIR is a free download, it’s hard to pass up.

Thanks to the Web Resources Depot.
