Am I trippin, CSS anti-alias question

[DDD]

I came across this site http://www.shauninman.com/

On that first page. Some of the text appears to be anti aliased. Is this possible with CSS? I have been researched but came up with nothing yet.

Hint look at the title of the sections to see what I am referring to.

Sorry to post w/o an answer but thats pretty crazy. It was normal at first then it got anti-aliased like a second later. :crazy:

Hopefully someone will let us know whats up. I'm gonna look into this in the mean time too.

I may email the dude, but yeah it would be great to know how he did it.

well here's the CSS code for the h1 header in the 'post' div of his site:


div.post h1 {


margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font: 22px/22px "Din-Light",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
text-transform: uppercase;
color: #AB6666;
}


nothing special as far as i can see... (this is the style applied to the headings "BEARSKINPLUG", "ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL", etc. etc.

i would suggest contacting him as well... and please post an answer if you get one

AHA! Got it ;) Basically, he embeds an SWF inside every h1 tag with some JavaScript.

is the swf built dynamically? I am not terribly good with JS.....By the way thanks for the sleuthing. I also sent him a email asking how it was done.

Pretty ingenious if you ask me....Had me going nuts researching if this is possible.

ya, looks like he uses flashVars to send the headline title to the swf file.

He calls it "Inman Flash Replacement" (like the original Fahrner Image Replacement technique from way back), and he's written (http://www.shauninman.com/mentary/past/ifr_an_fir_alternative.php) a few (http://www.shauninman.com/mentary/past/ifr_revisited_and_revised.php) articles (http://www.shauninman.com/mentary/past/ifr_in_the_wild.php) on it as well.

thanks unit....I will read those articles. Looks like a good technique. And he provides workarounds...niiice.
