We recently had a client request a logo to be done with a specific font. He didn't have the name of the font or any other information other relating to the font other than a picture of it. Mike searched his Adobe Photoshop fonts and couldn't find it. This left us with the propect of searching through online listings of fonts hoping to find a match.
Fortunately I came across www.identifont.com which has a really cool feature which let's you identify a font by answering a series of questions relating to how certain letters are displayed. Although I wasn't able to answer most of the questions due to the small sample of text I was working from; after about 5 minutes I was presented with a list of 30 possible fonts that matched my answers. Sure enough the tenth font on the list was the one we were looking for!
Identifont probably saved us a couple of hours of research and we were able to satisfy a clients request in a timely manner.
