In this article, indicate a Web site that has an identifier of spring and serves to know what source was used to compose an image.
I was developing a layout when the need arose to apply a source "different" to the project. Consulting my files, I found one that could serve. Meanwhile, those who commissioned the project has not been satisfied by…
Entered into a site, in front of me, pointed the finger to the monitor and said something more or less as "I want this source."
If what the client has chosen not to do with the design of the site as a whole, it is destoante, combines or not, as a last resort, ugly - yes, because it has customer that has very bad taste and still think over everything making / choose is the best in the world… -; fortunately, the source is chosen and combined bonitinha! :-)
The fact is, searching, I found the What The Font?, Application that identifies the source that was used in some image.
One detail, staff, is that URI address that appears in the tutorial is from my old blog, as this article about identifier of sources was originally published there. With that in mind, continue!
It is very easy to tinker. Simply upload the image you want or indicate the URL.

I will use this image to the test:

Then you give some assistance to the software, identifying some of the letters so he direitinho identify the source.

Finally, it presents a screen with the possible outcome of the identification of the source and a preview of the text - a little crazy… - with each one applied.

You will notice that every indication of the source is a link, it is possible by clicking on each one, go to a web site to buy the source… This is "marketing! Digging a good source of free sites, you can find the majority.
I tested several sources in What The Font?, To test it, I can say, based on sources they used, that the rate of success was, more or less than 80%. In the test image of this article, for example, the first result is already certain: Monotype Corsiva.
Personally, I find the system very good and very useful! Before finding the site, I even spent by 2 or 3 per perrengues not know what was determined source used in a composition. For these and other, the guide What The Font? "And I hope that is very useful!

Strange was unable to you, I even several times, I needed to know about the source and software hit!
Try sending images with little text, 4 or 6 words, for example, to see if the identification is better. Then say if acted this way, can be?
