WhatTheFont is a fantastic online service that helps you identify fonts. Simply upload a picture, tell it what the text youÔÇÖve uploaded says, and WhatTheFont should come back with some suggestions as to what the font might be.
MyFonts have just released <a title="WhatTheFont for iPhone" href="http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/iPhone/">WhatTheFont for iPhone</a>, which makes it really easy to identify fonts on the go. Just snap a picture, highlight the text, and WhatTheFont will provide you with a list of similar fonts. You can then e-mail information about the found fonts to yourself in a couple of taps.
The app seems a little glitchy in places (in particular when ÔÇÿmergingÔÇÖ characters together), and is thrown off a little by bad lighting ÔÇô but the font matches it finds seem pretty accurate. Best of all, itÔÇÖs free.
