Re: Script fonts within a graphic and 508 compliance

This use is explicitly permitted by WCAG 2.0 and also ok under Section 508. Worth noting that the US Access Board uses an image of text on their site (http://access-board.gov/).

Although, I'd say that the alt they have (alt="banner with Board logo and photo of Board office") is a bad example of how to represent the information in the image since the text in the image is not really provided...

Thanks,
