Does this software automaticly tell you the name of the font, or do you have to scroll through the font till it matches up…?

I use a website call "What The Font" it tells you the closest matching font automaticly, saves me hours of work searchng, as we do a lot of crash vehicle insurance work, where we have to match up fonts. Our customers like it to be spot on, not just the closest we can get.

Don’t know if anyone else uses this website

Its pretty popular amongst the members here mark.

Personally, I don’t have too much success with it, but it may just be me 😕

I have found that this software works pretty well for me. Usually when it doesn’t find an exact match its because I dont have it. . . which is sad because theres something like 34,000 fonts on this system (imagine putting them all into the windows font folder 😮 )

We also use a nifty bit of software called FONTEXPERT that I bought from a friend of mine. Just scan your font or load in the bitmap with it in, select the letters and click on FIND, and away you go, no more searching through that SignLab font book. It even shows you other fonts that is a close match
