# Is there actually such a thing as a font matchin algorithms?

I thought it was a B3ta in joke for badly matched fonts, much the way one would use 'SEAMS ok to me'

(e.g. In response to post with badly matched fonts... "What font matching algorithm did you use?")

Have I TOTALLY missed the point?

# Haha
Yeah, new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ tries to match on appearance, www.identifont.com/ tries to match by a process of elimination as you answer the questions.

Neither appear to be aware of my font...

# I don't see why there can't be.
If you can OCR some text, by matching the skeleton of each letter, then each font would have letter backbones with different deviations from some ideal.

Or, at least, the difference between the sample font letters and each of the target fonts would be a measure which could be used to rank the candidate matches.

There might be some speedups to the search if certain letters were more discriminating than others, perhaps font-dependant, so that letters would be compared in order of discriminating ability.

# give this a go

edit: no - it doesn't get a match. The E is quite distinctive

# tried that :(
You'd think with an E like that it'd be easy to find. Maybe it's a custom one

# The "E" and the "F" match nicely. I like the slight bulge out on the "A", too.
