WhatTheFont!

Well since we create covers and sometimes don't know what a specific font is, thought I share something I found. It's called What The Font. Pretty much what you do is you take something like say the Magnavox Odyssey font, crop the word Odyssey and upload it to this site as a picture. It then asks you to conform the letters that the font recognition has found. Afterwords it shows you the names of the fonts that are the best match to what you uploaded and in the case of Odyssey, the name of the font is "Computer". Then all you do is search for the internet, download and install the font and viola, you can now create an Odyssey cover, which I really would like to see here btw 

Kind of cool since most video game fonts are abit questionable and you have no idea what the names of them are.

I've used What the Font before to find the font used for the numbers on UPCs. I managed to find the font, but I was disinclined to spend money on a font, especially $2-$3, even though it's actually the official font used and not just some look-alike font. I may change my mind and buy it though.

Nevertheless, I can confirm that the site works. It's worth checking out.
