I've been seeing a lot of people asking "What is this font?" Here is one place you definitely want to check out first. http://whatthefont.com - It's a font name finding site, you just upload a small JPG, GIF, TIFF or BMP of the font you're trying to look for, and it automatically determines what font it is. You just have to answer a few questions such as ... is this a "H" and is this a "K". It compares your font with a large database of fonts and even if it doesn't hit the exact font you're looking for, it'll give you the closest looking match as well. hope that helps!
thanks, it didn't work for the font i wanted though >.< I'll bookmark though, probably useful in the future
also you can easily use this site http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ their forum is very developed with a big community in the background
