Dynamic font replacement using Dynatext

Simple replacement techniques http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dynatext

Originally done using SIFR - but couldn’t get a precise size. You can’t just set a font size in SIFR, you have to play with a lot of CSS settings. In any event it was too hard to replicate a bitmap font at a particular fonts size.

So moved to implementing with DynaText. Despite a full implementation if this - again hit a snag, the display would always retain some degree of anti-aliasing. Client was unhappy - so we reversed it out. :(

Lessons learnt - don’t use font replacement to get the look of small bitmapped fonts…
