What's my font?

    I often visit blogs and find fonts that I like and wonder what is the font type/size of the font used for the text.

    There was a time when I could just copy the text, paste it into a Word doc and then confirm the font that way.

    With CSS, this does not work anymore. I know I can sift through the CSS stylesheets, but I'm not very proficient in reading them.

    Is there any quick method to identify font type/size of text on blogs nowadays?

    Arial, Tahoma, Sans-serif and verdana. Those are the common types that are used.

    Thanks for responding, I do know that those are the most common ones.

    It's just sometimes you see a striking layout with crisp clear font and you want to know the exact font type/size used. It's those specific examples that I would like to figure out, rather then the most common fonts used.
