gFont

Overview

cfx gFont is an optimized custom tag for use with Macromedia Coldfusion. cfx gFont renders server side fonts into graphics for display on any web browser. This capability allows developers to design better looking, more customizable sites in less time.

It is meant to work on the fly and by default will intelligently cache images, not re-creating images which have already been created. It can be used directly in live pages without performance consequences.
