General information
This tool allows you to find the name / family of a font by its image. You only need to provide a sample font in the picture (high contrast, target letters only) and specify the text in the picture. The application allows you to set font search parameters and a break condition (match percentage). Finally, you can manage fonts that will be skipped during the search.
Warning! The tool only works with fonts installed on your operating system
