It sounds a bit long winded, doesn't it?
Essentially, it is inspired by this; http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dynatext/ . It is a technique for replacing header text within certain tags...e.g. h2 , with images generated by a php file and a specified font. The font just has to be stored on the webserver, so this is an excellent technique for dynamic replacement for headers.
I suggest reading the article, as it mentions about caching and generation of images there.
This should be easy enough to implement in a phptemplate theme I'm sloooowly making.
However, one of the commentors suggested that it would be much better for large CMS sites if such a function could be done when the 'header' is created. Which of course made me think of drupal. I doubt that I will be personally using it to replace node headers with a font of choice, but I am using the basic technique for my block headers. Or will be. WARE MY CURRENT drupal theme. Its only bluemarine.
...uh....back to the point, which was; anyone think it might be a good idea to create such a module more integrated to drupal (e.g. you can specify the path to the font, font size, html tag, etc etc.
Definitely NOT core, as the js he uses is hefty. But useful for designers rather than admins.
So yus.
a) Anyone else think this would be a useful module for design orientated admins
b) Anyone think they might give it a shot
