One thing that is confusing about your original post is your use of the word "title" in this line... Quote: I am using a Font for the title of all of my pages What you are referring to is the website name. In web design the "title" is the text that is inserted in the title tag in the head of the HTML doc and appears above the address bar in the browser. Confusingly, there is also the "title" attribute which can be inserted into any HTML element to give extra info about the element. This appears as a tooltip when the cursor hovers over the element. The website name would normally be inserted as an <h1> heading because it is important. Basically what is being said here is that, if you use an image for this, your SEO will suffer because the search engine spiders can't look at images. If you insert a text box with the website name and hide it behind the image, the spiders will be able to read it but they won't put much importance on it and, as Paul has pointed out, Google sees this as spamming. If you must use an image, you should insert it using the <img> tag in an HTML snippet. This way you can include the "alt" attribute and possibly the "title" attribute which the spiders will be able to read. <img href="relative path to image" alt="Website Name" title="Website Name"/> If you know the name of the font you can search for and download it - free or fee. Otherwise you can look for alternatives on sites like this... http://www.fontsquirrel.com If you find a suitable one you need to install it on a server and link to it. If a client - cracky or cranky - insists on a particular font then they need to be prepared to pay for it. If they have to pay through the nose for it they may not be so picky! ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!
