embedded font thingy http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/ good to see that they have included fallback content for the canvas text, but seems that the bit in the spec: "Authors should not use the canvas element in a document when a more suitable element is available. For example, it is inappropriate to use a canvas element to render a page heading: if the desired presentation of the heading is graphically intense, it should be marked up using appropriate elements (typically h1) and then styled using CSS and supporting technologies such as XBL." Is going to be ignored, so should be rewritten to take this use into account. It also seems that this "4.8.2.1.4 Text that has been rendered to a graphic for typographical effect Sometimes, an image just consists of text, and the purpose of the image is not to highlight the actual typographic effects used to render the text, but just to convey the text itself. In such cases, the alt attribute must be present but must consist of the same text as written in the image itself." becomes contradictory as it's a "should" for image of text in canvas, but "must" if the exact same text is jpeg,png etc image.
