If you're coding to be user friendly you really aren't by using an image where it should be text.
ok, but say for your comany's brand image you've selected an uncommon cursive font. your want to use it for all your headlines to create a consistant design to match your print media (think business card, brochure). there's no clear cut, black and white way to do something. sometimes text indent is used neddlessly, sometimes it actually acocmplishes something. i say let the user decide.

all jokes aside, hasn't the whole i'm so leet because i use xhtml and css instead of an image fad died yet? it always bothered me.
