Here is an idea that has actually been scrapped now, but i was
interested in the results anyway

the image scaling works quite well, not the best quality, but alright.
One of the problems seems to be that IE sometimes misinterprets this and
initially loads a hugely overstretched image. Sometimes.
One thing that occured to me was that if you were going to use a
stylesheet switcher to increase the font size of the site, you could
also make your header image a different bkg image in each style sheet,
allowing you to specifically scale an image to fit.
Not sure i'm making total sense, but i've just woken up after a late
night (eyes still blurry)

I agree, Roger. In fact, I should also mention that a curved image isn't
exactly a fair test.
I was thinking of using the em method for some image font headers, but they
look particularly bad, even without resizing. They are large enough that
they look okay in conjunction with text that has been resized within
reasonable bounds (IE's large/small settings, for example).
FF and Netscape users can resize text to much larger/smaller proportions
using Cntrl+ + or - keystrokes, but that begs the question: "Just how much
resizing should we cater to when working with ems?" I think I'm going to
stick with my absolutely-sized image font headers and hope that those users
with indefinite resizing capabilities will apply them judiciously.
Thanks,
Janie
