What's that font? Identifying a font.
I see plenty of threads asking for identification of different fonts.
For a while, I've been recommending www.whatthefont.com from www.myfonts.com, however, I thought I'd share with you the new Linotype font identifier:
http://www.fontexplorer.com/FontStor...UserTemplate/6
Contrary to www.whatthefont.com this one doesn't work by uploading images. The system 'asks' you several questions to narrow down your search. It seems to work pretty well, although I believe www.whatthefont.com may have a larger selection of fonts used in the system, therefore providing more accurate results. In any case, this is another choice for you to consider when trying to id a font.
Yet another choice would be http://www.identifont.com/ which works in the same fashion as the Linotype system, probably retrieving results from a different library of fonts. The system seems identical to the Linotype (probably shared between both companies).
If nothing else works, the forums at FK are always a good choice and there is of course the option of newsgroups:
Alt.binaries.font
Alt.binaries.fonts
comp.fonts
Have fun!
FontSurfer's a good bet too.
www.fontsurfer.com
Is a visual search engine. :)
