This plugin lets you easily customize the fonts in your blog using sIFR technology.

== Description ==

Use this plugin to change the default fonts of your blog. This plugin adds a nice admin settings page where you can configure it, and then it will add automatically the necessary codes to customize the fonts.

It is based on sIFR technology, which as Mike Davidson (one of the lead developers of sIFR) does the following:
"sIFR is meant to replace short passages of plain browser text with text rendered in your typeface of choice, regardless of whether or not your users have that font installed on their systems. It accomplishes this by using a combination of javascript, CSS, and Flash[...]
sIFR is fully accessible to screenreaders and other assistive technology. Dont take our word for it. Ask Matt May of the W3C who endorses it as an accessible method to create rich typography on the web. Or ask Joe Clark, one of the worlds leading accessibility experts, whose interest in typography is only trumped by his interest in accessibility."

This plugin will work on the following browsers: IE 5+, Safari, Firefox, Opera 7+, Omniweb, and even Konqueror. And requires at least Flash 6 and JavaScript to display the fonts. In case any of the requirements before is not fullfilled it will display the normal page.


== Installation ==

Follow this simple guide to install:

1. Download, unzip, and upload to your server the folder `custom_fonts` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
1. Go to `Design->Custom fonts` to configure it and have it working.

Done! 

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Is it accessible? =

sIFR is fully accessible to screenreaders and other assistive technology. Dont take our word for it. Ask Matt May of the W3C who endorses it as an accessible method to create rich typography on the web. Or ask Joe Clark, one of the worlds leading accessibility experts, whose interest in typography is only trumped by his interest in accessibility.

= Performance =

This plugin won't add more than 6 lines of html code to your pages, and it will import two small js files and two css sheets. It will then write the necessary JavaScript functions to replace your text with custom text and that's it.

= Will it take on a lot of Bandwidth? =

The sIFR javascript file is less than 10k and only loads once. Thereafter, it is pulled from the browser cache. The same applies to the sIFR Flash movies which contain your fonts. If you have five headlines on a page which all use the same custom font, the .swf is pulled once from the server and from the browser cache thereafter. sIFR Flash movies are generally between 8k and 20k depending on the complexity of the font.
