Alright so a while back, I came upon a few blogs with a very interesting feature, one I'd like to reproduce but I don't have the slightest idea as to how to go about it.
The title of each blog entry was not comprised of text, but rather a string of images generated from somewhere to create the new title. Each text character called and was translated into a specific image, including capital / lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Basically, the effect was used to present the titles in coordination with the layout in a font that wasn't even close to web standard. At first I thought that I just had the font installed locally and that the CSS was calling it, but then I realised that each letter was a picture. Anyone know what I'm taking about, and how to do this? I would be eternally greatfull! |

Yeah. You have to have an image manipulation library installed, and appropriate bindings to your language. I've done it using Python + PIL on my own site (not anymore, though).
If you're using PHP, check out the info in the manual. A Google search for "php image manipulation" or "php image processing" should yield some tutorials, too. |

But I don't need this topic open anymore, I found the plugin I was looking for. :3 |
