More about FontMatch

FontMatch is a light program that requires less free space than most programs in the category Desktop customization software. It's a program very heavily used in some countries such as South Africa, India, and Greece.Since the program joined our selection of software and apps in 2005, it has obtained 14,814 downloads, and last week it gained 3 downloads.FontMatch is available for users with the operating system Windows 98 and prior versions, and you can download it in English. The current version of the program is 1.2.4 and its last update was on 10/21/2005.

A desktop font identification solution that looks at the fonts on your computer, instead of comparing against every font available on the Internet. Have you ever had a customer or a colleague hand you a printed sample and ask if you had that font? Have you ever purchased a font only to find that you already owned a similar font that would have worked just fine?

Instead of calling all the designers you know for advice, you can ask FontMatch to “look” at a sample and compare it to each font on your computer. FontMatch compares positive and negative space in a manner very similar to the way your eyes do, matching patterns to determine the best “fit”. After examining each font, it displays two images side by side: the one you supplied, and FontMatch’s best answer or you can scroll through each of the answers, and see a percentage for each one that represents the closeness of the fit. Unlike the online matching utilities, this program matches only to the fonts that you already have in your computer.

    Decent start but needs a LOT of work..
    Decent start, but needs a LOT of work. Does not allow you to change the font folder, so you can check INSTALLED fonts only. Does not recognize PNGs. Identifies only one character at a time.
