Create and customize (body and headline text) extensive type-charts (PDF created on the fly) for more than 1000 fonts, in your own language. Download free TT-fonts with extensive kerning tables. Problem is that on some Netscape browsers, nothing works. [Google] |
| Fontfinder | Font search engine by Maximilian Bloch. Some pages are directly linked to Agfa/Monotype and MyFonts, so this is not quite an unbiased site. And Maximilian, stop putting “Download font” when you mean “Click here to purchase font”. [Google] |

| Global Search | Font search engine that requires registration. [Google] |
| Google font searching can be automated as in this example. If you look for Monotype Corsiva, say, then use the direct URL http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Monotype+Corsiva or http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Mtcorsva.ttf%22. Take a guess at what the filename could be. [Google] | |
| Google Books | Google’s book scanning project. Books available starting in August 2006 include Jan Middendorp’s Dutch Type and hundreds of others. The pages come in low quality JPG format, about 90k per page. Furthermore, the right-click download function is disabled. The only way to get an entire book is to click on every page in the browser, and then check the cache on your computer, which should have each page in its JPG format—a painful process that will take a good hacker to automate. Text pages are sometimes in PNG format. Grabbing text for quotations, as one can do in PDF files for example, is impossible. So, in summary, Google Books is useful for advertising purposes, to make one buy the book. It is useless for those wishing to do some serious reading or those interested in the fine details of type specimen or other images. [Google] |

The software was developed by Hansjörg and Robert Stulle. [Google] |

[Google] |
| WhatTheFont [Laurence Penney] | Send scanned images to the site for automatic recognition. A part of MyFonts.com. It did not work on the gif files I sent, but others report some luck. It will never recognize a non-commercial font or report all equivalent names of a font, so there is a built-in bias. [Google] |
