Re: Images in Headers

Personally, I think the idea of an image as part of a header is fine -
associating pictures with words, ideas, etc is good. But a picture of the
text you want seems like a bad idea to me, and is explicitly not allowed in
most cases by the priority 2 WCAG checkpoint 3.1 When an appropriate markup
language exists, use markup rather than images to convey information.

That's just my quick (instant) opinion

  I did a quick search on the archive, and wasn't able to find anything on
  this.  I'd just like some quick opinions.

  Personally, I don't this that images should be used for headers, unless you
  need a specific font.  Then you could use the "alt" tag.  Right?
