Currency symbols included in Amty Currency

Using font instead of images has many advantages. Like

1. Font letters can be re-sized easily without losing sharpness.
2. We can change foreground & background color of text.
3. We can apply other text decoration to the font.
4. Many letters(or symbols) are packed in a font.
5. You can show a font character in any style instead of making new request for an image.
6. You can use them to generate Captcha
7. etc.

Amty Currency font is a very good replacement of images. This is open source (under GPL). And it is being used in many big organizations. It can be integrated easily using CSS.
