Web fonts are now more and more common and sometimes when you see a good looking site you think, humm I like that font, I would like to use it too. Well that is why I love the What Font bookmarklet from Chengyin Liu.
This little JavaScript bookmarklet lets you easily know which font a site is using by just clicking the bookmark and hovering over the text in question. What Font will then show a a small transparent overlay with the typeface name. Of course you can do this in FF firebug but this is just so simple and quick.

That's quite cool. I'm no designer, but I'm a bit of a font addict nonetheless.
I have an app on my phone called What the Font, which I have used a few times - it lets me take a photo, then work out the letters and it wanders around online trying to find a match.
Very handy when I'm reading a magazine, or out in the big wide world away from my computer.
