Graphic headlines with TextGen.aspx
Introduction
Textgen.aspx generates a graphic-headline depending on the parameters passed to it.
Preparations
Before you can use the TextGen feature you need to upload the TrueType font file, which you'd like to use. Font files must be placed inside the umbraco/config/fonts directory. You also need to create an entry for your font in fonts.xml which resides in the same directory.
There are many truetype fonts available in the windows directory 'fonts' folder.
Usage within the Rich text editor
You can insert a dynamically generated image into the richtext-editor by clicking the icon beside the Bold and Italic-icons (Two A's).
Usage within templates
Place the following code in your Umbraco template (ensure you url encode the text parameter):
<img alt="Your Text Here" src="/umbraco/TextGen.aspx? text=Your+Text+Here &font=arial &size=48 &color=ffcc33 &bgColor=ffffff &bold=1" border="0"/>
