General translation of the post by me

"...I had the idea of making a more complete drawing using the Verdana font and 'absolute positions' in CSS, generating a vector drawing that is directly embedded in the HTML.

I chose Homer Simpson because he is sufficiently popular and recognizable. It is working in the following browsers:

• Internet Explorer 5.5, 6 y 7

• Opera 9

• Firefox 2

• Safari 3

How does it look in other operating systems and browsers?

Note: for it to look right, you must have the Verdana font."


Most regular people would say this guy has too much time on his hands. I say (and I'm sure all of you too) that he is AWESOME.


That's pretty funky. Turn of author style sheets in your browser and see a lot of O's, parentheses and bullets. Nice.


Yep, the replacement for ASCII art...


Terrifying. And the source is only marginally larger than the same image in PNG (15k vs. 13k).
