First, some background. I’ve had the idea for a few months to introduce some more interesting categories to my thoughtbook (see top of this page). I’ve been writing about quite a diverse range of things, and everyone might not be interested in reading all of that. Therefore I also wanted some more RSS feeds, preferrably one for each category. (The plugin WP More Feeds sorts that, but more on the Wordpress plugins I can’t live without in a later post.)
Here’s where I ran into a tiny problem. The headers — that is, the BIG colourful ones — have previously been static images, using a pretty font the name of which I can’t remember, because at some point in February my trusted laptop dies miserably, and with it went all the fonts I had downloaded. New categories meant a need for new page titles, so my first idea was to find the old font or one that looked like it and then let something like sIFR or FLIR render the headers.
