Queen:

The best method to get cursive fonts is as follows:

1) Don't use cursive fonts everywhere (they are usually hard to read).

2) For headings, like h1 elements etc, use

<h1 id="cursive_text_1">Caption 1</h1>

in html file and,

#cursive_text_1{
background: url(cursive_text_1_image_file) no-repeat;
display: none;
}

in the CSS portion.

3) Repeat for all the headings and title elements you have with
different ids and background images.



PS: This method is followed in ZenGarden's website and degrades
gracefully when stylesheet is disabled, have a look here:
