creating text effects (like flash) using javascript in HTML5

Can somebody suggest me how to create text effects (like we can create in flash) in 开发者_开发知识库HTML 5 using javascript/jquery. And also the custom font for whatever text is appearing there? Is it possible? any example?

Thanks in advance.

You really need to look at Css3 for text based effects. But if you want to create full animations then Canvas would be your HTML5 tech of choice.

Try taking a look here:

Cufon draws fonts onto canvas so you could then animate them with javascript.
