I spend a good portion of my time at work trying to identify fonts that customers have used in the past in their designs/logos. One of the best sites for this is WhatTheFont at MyFonts.com. You upload a picture and their program tries to match lettershapes with known fonts. If that is unsuccessful, you can leave a message in the WTF Guru Forums and font freaks try to identify the fonts you need. They're pretty darned awesome, I must say.
Anyway, after I post a pic there, I try to see if I can identify any of the other posted pics. I can never figure them out before a guru does, though. There was this one guy today that wanted to know what the "love is..." font was from those Love Is cartoons. A guru had already identified the font (the guy was in luck because it was even a free font!), but the guy couldn't figure out how to use it. I figured I'd be helpful and post a couple of links about how to use fonts and he still didn't get it. I gave up. I figured if he couldn't figure out how to install fonts by reading those two links (one Mac, one PC), then he shouldn't be trying to use fonts at all. Go read the guy's posts...he's a hoot. I wonder if he ever figured it out.
