Ever seen a font you'd like to use but you don't have it or know the name?

Will here's a neat tool to help you indentify the font by answering a series of questions. It's called "Font Indentifier".

Not to hijack the thread but DANG! $22.00 for one windows true type font?

Wordperfect and Corel shipped with an equivalent fortune in fonts!

I tried one in which I knew the name but it didn't find it. Of course I was trying to describe the font from memory and having seen only some letters. They did have it when searching by name (chiller).

Twenty-two bucks isn't all that expensive for one font," though personally I rarely have a need for any that aren't free or part of a package. I've bought a font package or two in my time, but I think I've only bought a single font once because it was the only one of its kind I could find. Think I paid $40 for it.

I tried the font finder thing. Gave it an easy one, and it identified it. Gave it a hard one, and not only did it not identify the right one, but even the one it came up with would have failed most of the criteria I gave. Not sure what's up with that.
