thinking about 2000s pixel-design websites that had all their text in images so they would be in a pixel-perfect font layout and thinking about writing software to render that kind of layout on the go so i don't have to do it manually and also so the source is used as alt text
is this a solved problem? how did people usually lay these pages out otherwise in the 2000s, was it all by hand or did they have specific software to render the text boxes for them given the page layout? i want to make websites that look authentic but also 2020 accessible

i'm talking about this type of web design, you can see how some of these have no true text anywhere, it's all images https://www.webdesignmuseum.org/exhibitions/pixel-art-in-web-design
thinking about crafting CSS in a way that displays properly in IE6-era browsers but takes advantage of newer standards where possible (if the browser has viewport scaling, then scale by 2x so pixel art shows better in modern hi-res monitors, etc)
