'Generate images for html heading with Java servlet

I found Facelift which can basically generate html headings as images (with "nice font") on the fly. Does something similar exist for Java (couldn't find one myself)?

Cheers, stephanos

Have look at http://swit.kornr.net/ Its for Wicket, but perhaps it can be used without it.

I don't know of any, but you should probably consider a more accessible alternative (non-image) like CSS 3 embedded fonts, which allow any fonts (even TTF, OTF and other common font formats) to be used in the page, while behaving like proper text.

My website, http://azabani.com/ uses CSS3 embedded fonts, so check that out as an example.

Solution 3:[3]

yes, I created a image generator, which could be tweaked to generate any sort of image you want.

If you host this on Azure "function apps" , it costs only pennies per month.
