title: Is it proper to use images inside header tags?
body: <p>I've done quite a bit of googling on this, but I haven't been able to get a straight answer.</p>
  
  <p>In terms of SEO, how bad is it to use images for your headers?  The reason for doing this of course would be to be able to display non-standard fonts.  I know it is bad to use images in place of headers, but I'm wondering if this sort of syntax would do anything to make it more search engine friendly:</p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;h1&gt;&lt;img src="header.jpg" alt="Level 1 Header" /&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>Does it have the same effect as this?:</p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;h1&gt;Level 1 Header&lt;/h1&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>I suspect the answer to this is no.  I think search engines probably wouldn't like this because you could put any text in the alt attribute without it actually being displayed on the page.  So in that case, what is the best way to use images for headers without sacrificing SEO?</p>
