Mm, I'm not sure. Images of text, if made accessible, are acceptable (I
think) because the images look nicer than browser-rendered text --
pretty anti-aliasing and so on. And yes, I know that some browsers
anti-alias, but others don't. Dave Shea has written extensively on this
sort of subject at the CSS Zen Garden -- how to find tha balance
between making sure everyont can see what you're writing and how to
make sure they see what you want them to.
