Cool Non-Flash Sites (Etc.) Using Pixel Fonts

Anyone know some well-known or high-profile, non-Flash sites using Pixel Fonts?

Also interested in links or examples of other media using them.

I'm interested in showing how useful these type of fonts are outside of Flash sites and applications.

Hey,

just thinking... If you want to use a pixel-font on your website as normal text, then the font needs to be installed on each users computer. The only way around that would be to use images. Is that what you are looking for?

Right -- unless you had a group of users with copies of the fonts, then they'd have to be images.

Know there are lots of sites out there, but is a little hard to come up with a good list by myself all at once.

Ideally would like to get at least a half dozen well-known sites, especially ones well-known to general public.

Here's another I thought of, but don't think it's so widely known.

Well, again Pixelfonts are only shown in the images, not the whole text. Is that what you mean though? Pages using them in images?

Not sure why you're asking again; thought I answered your question pretty clearly.

And I thought that that would be pretty obvious anyway.
