Well, I might be exposing my weakness as a designer by not immediately recognizing the ollowing font:

which is a title graphic for the intro flash to the Herrick Goldman Lighting Design website whose font I was asked to identify. It is used on the "inherited flash" intro for which I had no source .fla.

I took a screenshot with the free version of Gadwin Printscreen and saved it as a png, headed over to What the Font, stepped through the short wizard and was amazed at how simple the process and accurate the result was right off the bat. I included in my screenshot of the What the Font results screen (below) the text at the bottom with two suggested paths to get expert human help in the event that the right font was not automatically identified.

Having posted this, the Computer Scientist in me is no longer so impressed, but I do have a great appreciation for good, usable software. This example weds some simple and cool technologies with clever usability to make a freely available, great utility which is both useful and a delight to use.
