good afternoon,

WhatTheFont sounded great, so i just tried it, and it seems pretty hit-or-miss to me (mostly miss). i just made a screen shot of common Helvetica text and it gave me several bizarre matches, like "Tirana Regular" and "Orcin Sans Regular" and many others, except Helvetica. Maybe they figure if you can't recognize Helvetica, you have bigger problems.

I tried 5 different fonts and didnt get one correct match back.

You all have a lot of success with this site?
