Hmmm… I thought that online tools were described and explained in this thread. Am I missing something? 
Wow, i’ve been looking for something like this for a while now, thanks for the resources
There is also another simple way to identify Fonts already installed on your Computer: Screen OCR 6.5 (from screenocr.com) I bought it because of the “money back guarantie” … but never got my money back 
… and now I’m enjoying the software even it has some minor bugs.

When we select a text to change the font and go to format the text then automatically a sample of each font style appears isn’t it?Thanks for the tips anyway…
Brilliant guide, and some fantastic tools. Thank you for this. Shall be making use of it in the near future.
This is gold. I’ve spent lots of time finding a match for some fonts I wanted to use this will save so much time
Great guide. I have tried it but I can’t really know how. Maybe I will experiment a little.
It is kinda hard to recognize a font when it is from a subtitle of a foreign language show. Maybe I will just ask for the help of Sitepointers
That is brilliant work. You have provide a very nice explanation, and the stepwise guide is great. Thank you.
Very, very useful thread. Having worked reproducing logo’s on to promotional products I came across this issue a lot. I often found that it was the descender, ascender or curvature that gave it away.
Its a good list, I will try all the above ones
Hi Varelse
Thank you so much for best guidance to recognize the font… it is really a patent formul
I use WhatTheFont and it’s been useful so far. Sometimes it doesn’t pick up and that’s when I got to search for fonts manually.
Where i can find good fonts, i used Dafonts, is it the biggest site for fonts?
Wow Arthur, you are a best! Thanks for the tips.
