But as images:

1) bloats the bandwidth of the document
2) provides no info for search engines
3) provides no way to scale text for visually impaired, your can be
impaired but still like to look at photos! As text once can zoom it and
since your use pale grey on white. Viewing with style disabled would
mean text would be default black on white and more legible, but AH!
You're page is all images as text! AND all pixel perfect absolute
positioned mess that when the style is disabled degrades to a complete mess!
4) limited eye-sighted folks may use a screen reader to assist, but
ditto on above!

Use text, find a handful of possible fonts that are likely to be on
visitors systems and use that...A logo, maybe use graphics to match a
font but not for the page's text...

Take care,
