Text font question

[emlcards]

Hi,

I am working on a website that someone else created and need to make
some additional buttons. The problem is that I want to make the new
buttons consistent with the old ones, but have no idea what text font
was used on the buttons.

I'm using DW MX as well as Photoshop. Is there any way that I can find
out the font other than by guessing through 100s of them?

Thanks for any help!

Presumably these buttons are graphics rather than CSS styled HTML
buttons?

Do you access to the original graphic files (.PSD if Photoshop was
used) that the GIFs (or whatever) were made from? If you do then the
font information should be available.

If not then the best best is to post the URL in one of the font
newsgroups. There are people who hang out there who recognise
thousands of fonts by sight.

Or dump all the graphics and use HTML/CSS buttons instead.

Post a link to an image of the font to one of the font newsgroups and
ask. They're pretty good at doing stuff like that.
