A user prompt that shows the size of the font would be my preferred way to deal with the performance issue. This would have to be accompanied by a method so that a user isn't prompted again if they choose not to download fonts for example for that session. As a user I'd want an option in my browser to prevent any fonts from ever being downloaded, and to prevent being prompted to do so. Ideally I'd want to see this implemented as a GUI preference setting, minimally via a browser or user style sheet. The latter option would require something like a 'none' value for the '@font-face' property to prevent automatic downloading. Add to that plenty of other preferences users are gong to have wrt downloadable fonts, and implementing a solution that would work for most could be something of a nightmare for those who want to support downloadable fonts. > Fonts and image replacement - > - Accessibility considerations for image-text replacement Images of text is almost always a bad idea. Imo CSS should discourage such usage and instead provide tilting and 3D font decorative effects like shadows and extruding. -- Spartanicus (email whitelist in use, non list-server mail will not be seen)
