nice, do you know if there is a reliable way to PUT binary data using XHR in JavaScript?

I really love how the author has taken pains to ensure that everything works in browsers and Node.js. The demo is all client side code, which is truly impressive--there is no uploading to a Node.js server to retrieve SVGs or images.

My workmate did something similar few years back, http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/

(Converts font files to js structs and renders them into canvas/vml, this was meant as sIRF replacement before native support for CSS custom fonts was common.)

Heh, many production sites still use Cufon, mind. :)

Awesome, I tried a Chinese TTF font and it works! For many years I've been waiting for some JS code which supports CJK fonts, none of typekit, cufon etc. worked. This is really awesome.
