FLIR - Facelift Image Replacement

Recently I was looking at a webpage and noticed that it would load text, and before the page was loaded, as the final pieces of javascript were being loaded I noticed all the titles seemed to change to a font.  I thought wow!  They are taking plain text and having it replaced, with what I assumed javascript, with images making the titles into a font.

You may ask, what does this mean?  So what I see that all the time?  No, you probably haven't, see usually the designer of the website has to pre-generate images for titles like that, now if that title has to change its not a matter of just jumping in the code and changing it, you now have to open photoshop, find the text, re-type, save as an image, upload, and re-adjust your source code as needed.  This presents a real problem with text that is generated from a database, like for instance from a content management system.
