You wouldn't believe how many people would bring in a crap-quality printed copy of something and say "I want my invite/card/printout to look EXACTLY like this one". WhatTheFont saved the day many a time.

#32AFAIK it's the best of its sort, but I've used it a few times (not for a few years though) and I don't think I've ever found the actual font. Though of course it finds similar fonts which sometimes can be enough.
My secret used to be http://www.typophile.com/ which had a font id forum and you'd get an answer from someone usually within a few hours. It was a really cool place. They were down for a while so I don't know if that community re-formed or not.

#37Hey, I'm part of the team that made this, and you have the wrong link. This is our new mobile app: http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/mobile/ It's powered by deep learning, and it's way better and more accurate than the current desktop version that's linked here.

Is there an easy way I can add my font? It doesn't seem to know about it. https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font
