How to find text in images with the browser control+F

Have HTML pages with many sections and each section has a section title displayed as an image (to use nice font). The problem is that even if I specify an 'alt' and 'title' text on each image/title the Ctrl+F browser functionality does not find the text. Thought two possible solutions but not very happy about them

  1. Use embed fonts. Problem: Can not find the font required by client to use and not sure about copyrights.

  2. Have the text in the image in DIV near the image but hidden from user view. Problem: Can search engines consider this keyword stuffing? Will browser find text if display:none

Does anybody has a better solution? Thanks Riga
