How can I figure out what a font looks like?

Create a Font Reference Guide

If you work with a lot of fonts, this tip is for you. It comes from Julee Beigay of Virtual Webgistics who writes: "I have a binder that I call my font reference binder. In it are print-outs of every font in my computer. This binder has saved me a lot of time and money and I'd be lost without them!"

Of course, Microsoft programs display the various font names with an example of what they look like on-screen, but not all programs do this. Also, a handy binder like this can go with you to planning meetings for on-the-spot design decisions.

Thanks for the tip, Jules!
