Its service is a bit unusual: you upload a photo, and it tries to identify the font of the text in it. Is it fun? To me, its only real use is that it gives you a helping hand. For example, the other time I was editing a MapleStory image and had no idea what font it used. If this site had existed back then, it would have been great! One thing to keep in mind is that WhatTheFont does not support Chinese fonts.</p> <p>Site: <a href="http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/"><a href="http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/">http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/</a></a></p> <p>In general, WhatTheFont doesn&rsquo;t place many restrictions on the images you can use for font lookup.</p> <p>The only requirements are that the image can&rsquo;t be blurry, and it can&rsquo;t be too small either.</p>
