Find My Font 3 Released

[Fred Weiss]

Find My Font font identification software has just released a new version that includes access to their new online database of fonts. In the one test I made so far, it took less than 10 seconds to identify the sample I used. As far as I can tell, version 3 is free to existing licensees of the Pro version.

looks very promising

Cool! and the sign they showed in the demo video is just up the road from me.

Who needs it, just post here and have an answer in a few.

This is true, however, there are a number of members who have this software and use it to provide the aforementioned benefit to other members.

I think I just found out some of the font gurus secret around here! I've had this software for about 2 weeks and it works great. And I just upgraded to ver 3 and it was free since I already had ver 2.3 PRO.

These gurus were cheating?

Seem that way. But I didn't care as long as they came through!

I wouldn't call it cheating.

Most of the time I know the font -- I just cannot remember what it is called.

For instance, someone posted a sample the other day and my mind kept thinking.... "Candice, Candice, Candice" -- and even though I know the font and I knew it wasn't called Candice it might have taken me an hour or so to stumble upon "Tango" in our library.

FindMyFont does this in about two minutes or less.

Its a time saver.

And its an even bigger time saver for the fonts that I don't know now that it ID's fonts online.

I'm in love with this software.

OK, yeah... maybe its cheating a little...



Oh, and one more thing... I'm not suggesting that I'm a guru when it comes to fonts... no-sir-ee.

Just having fun, anyway it helps.

Excellent software to have! Kinda puts my 39+ years of typeface and font recognition into the "of little value" category as far as resumes goes. Just push a button..............

Never used it before. What makes it different or better than whatfontis.com or whatthefont.com?

 

[SignosaurusRex]

I downloaded the upgrade......Hmmmm. At the moment, I think it needs much more scrutiny. I ran a lot of font samples through it with less than reasonable results. I'll keep it occupied in an effort to gather more info. (insert hour-glass)

For me, the difference is that I have a massive personal library of fonts. This tool allows me to identify a sample, just like whatfontis.com or whatthefont.com, but looks thru the fonts I already own. Then, if I don't have it, look thru an online database to find what new font I need to purchase.
