"This is an amazing tool that is as interesting in it's process as it is in the majestic simplicity in which it performs it's task. Identifont asks you a series of questions about the characteristics of the font you are trying to identify. As you answer the questions more and more fonts are discounted as viable until you get the font of your choice."
Aren't we all a bit like that when we pick and choose fonts for our computer? If you aren't a designer, I can't see you straying far from the conservative Arial's, Times new Roman's, or a Calibri maybe. Comic Sans is kept for the cutesy emails we tend to write once in a while.
