It's a technique which has a number of uses. Some things I've used it for are:

- Including brief passages of Greek in an eBook, where the reader wouldn't normally have had a Greek font available.

- Diagrams and other such things done with ASCII characters which reply on monospaced fonts. I've just done this, for example, with a genealogical chart in a book I'm working on at the moment.

If it's just black and white text, it generally compresses extremely efficiently as a GIF file, so it has no significant impact on the size of the resulting book.
