Today I needed to use a non typical web font for a site I was working on. I chose to use sIFR and download it from http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/sifr/
I then proceeded to open up the sifr.fla, only to find out that CS4 choked on it with an error “unexpected file format”. At first I didn’t know what to do, but I googled the problem and found out a nifty solution from Novemberborn.
All you need to do is download a newer version that contains an updated file called “sifr-cs3-and-up.fla”. You should now be able to use this file to create your fonts.
Download the updated sIFR here
If you are against using flash for non-standard text, you can check out Facelift Image Replacement AKA FLIR.
