Nifty Font Tool
Not that the need for this comes up often, but I found this really cool tool online that I thought I'd share. I was browsing this quilting site on my iPad, and the text displayed in a really beautiful font. Since the iPad is running Safari, I didn't have a web inspector handy to tell me what font it was. When I pulled up the site in Chrome on my laptop to check the style sheet, it came up in a different font; the style read 'Comic Sans MS', cursive. Clearly the iPad was not rendering Comic Sans. Strangely enough, I couldn't find a reference that would tell me the default cursive font for Safari, and I didn't see it in the list of iOS fonts. (It was listed there, however; the only reason I didn't see it was that the font wasn't installed on my MacBook). In any case, my search led me to a site called Identifont, which has a great tool for identifying a font by its appearance, simply by answering a series of questions. It was amazing, and worked perfectly! The font turned out to be Snell Roundhand. It's quite pretty.

He who goes out weeping,
carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
carrying sheaves with him.
