Font Cheat Sheet???
Often times, I have to identify a font from a previous designer's work. I spend alot of time scrolling up and down what seems to be an endless list of fonts from the drop down menu.

I'm curious to know if whether or not there is a "spreadsheet" of a number, or all..., fonts so I can have a printout of that at my side the next time I'm searching for a font with a particular Sarif or other quality.

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Re: Font Cheat Sheet???
There are many books of fonts, but of course none that show the fonts you have installed on your computer. There are many utilities for printing out samples of all your fonts, which seems to me the best solution.

If you're trying to identify a font someone else has sent you, then try either identifont, where you describe the font through a series of questions, or the amazing WhatTheFont, which identifies samples you send to the site.
