Advantage over sIFR is that it works by using 100% valid CSS. So when TrueType web fonts finally are supported you won't need to adjust anything.

Another advantage is that you can use all text related CSS rules to make up your fonts.

And best of all it does not require any manual work like preparing Flash movies for each font you want to use or changing your HTML code.
