The WhatFont tool is a great way to identify what web fonts are being used right on a page. When the bookmarklet is active, just click on any text to discover its full font stack!

Go to chengyinliu.com/whatfont.html to install the bookmarklet (Firefox 3.6+, Chrome 9+, Safari 4+, Internet Explorer 9) or get the extension for Chrome.

    Doesn’t works properly on images. Which is a down-side of this extension, other than that, awesome!

    Yes go into View-Page source this will tell you the fonts used unless the page is controlled by Cascading Style Sheets.http://hardknight.net
