The Oxford English Dictionary's OED Online (subscribers only) and AskOxford.com use small images to display all of the special characters used in entries for pronunciation, Greek letters, etc. Being the Unicode fan that I am, this offended my sensibilities, so I wrote a script to convert these images into proper Unicode text, which can then be resized, printed nicely, searched for with Google, copied and pasted into documents, etc. See the homepage and the source code for further details.
