想要从图像或文本(image or text)中获取字体？有一些令人惊讶的强大工具可以为您完成所有工作。一旦你知道它是什么字体，你就可以上网下载它，你就可以将它与你常用的文字处理应用程序(word processing apps)一起使用。
这些工具在获得您正在寻找的确切字体方面并不总是完美的，但相反，您会发现一系列与您扫描的字体非常相似的结果。有时您也可以找到确切的字体，但无论哪种方式都比试图在网上毫无希望地搜索特定字体名称(font name)要好得多。
我们将看看一些字体查找工具，然后解释如何将字体安装到您的计算机上。
最好的字体查找工具
在我们列出发现字体的最佳字体查找工具之前，这里有一个快速提示，可让您的字体准备好(font ready)进行扫描。
如果您想从PDF、文档或网页(document or web page)扫描字体，请截取页面的屏幕截图，而不是复制和粘贴文本本身。如果是照片中的文字，您可以裁剪掉大部分背景，只剩下字体。
接下来，针对我们包含的这些字体查找工具中的任何一个，按照下面提到的步骤进行操作。
(What The Font)Myfonts的字体是什么
访问上面的链接，单击并将您的照片拖到框中，Myfonts将识别图像中的任何文本。然后，只需单击以拖动您要扫描的文本。
什么字体(Font)在查找图像中的文本方面做得很好，因此在几乎所有情况下，您都应该看到文本自动突出显示。如果没有，您可以使用拖动工具(drag tool)手动突出显示文本。完成此操作后，单击蓝色箭头(blue arrow)以识别您的字体。
如前所述，字体可能并不总是立即被识别，但您将获得一系列选项。在我们的测试中，What The Font找到了正确的字体，但将其排在列表的第二位。
这里的许多选项都非常相似，您可以输入自己的文本以查看字体的显示方式。稍后我们将解释如何找到这些字体的免费变体并将其安装到您的计算机上。
(Font Matcherator)Fontspring的字体匹配器
我们发现 What The Font是一种对用户更友好的字体扫描仪(font scanner)，并且工作更准确。例如，前面显示的较暗图像可以被 What The Font检测到，但不能被Fontspring检测到。但是，如果 What The Font(Font isn)没有按预期工作，您可以尝试Fontspring(Font Matcherator)的Font Matcherator(Fontspring)。
访问上面的链接并将您的图像拖到Font Matcherator 网站(Font Matcherator website)上的框中。单击并拖动(Click and drag)以用标记的框包围文本。如果找到文本，您将看到勾勒出文本的红色框。对结果满意后，单击绿色的Matcherate it按钮。
最终结果(end result)可能不像您希望的那样准确，但您仍然应该看到与您扫描的字体相似的字体。
如何在线下载免费字体
您找到了自己喜欢的字体并拥有名称，但不想为此支付 20 到 100 美元？值得庆幸的是，还有其他选择。许多字体创建者将创建其字体的免费版本，您可以在网上找到它们。
为此，请访问dafont然后在搜索栏中搜索您的(search bar)字体名称(font name)。
找到字体后，单击下载按钮(download button)。注意使用权。通常，这些字体可供个人免费使用，但您必须向作者支付商业使用权。
如果您在此处找不到您的字体，您可以返回到 What The Font 或 Font Matcherator(Font or Font Matcherator)以查找类似字体的名称。搜索可用字体可能需要一些时间，但如果您仅将其用于个人用途，这可能是值得的。
如果您需要该字体用于商业用途，最好从Myfonts或fonts.com等网站购买。如果您找不到自己喜欢的字体，您可以随时创建自己的字体。
下载字体后，它应该在.zip 文件(.zip file)中。使用存档工具提取.zip 文件(.zip file)，然后浏览到解压缩内容的位置。双击运行.otf 文件(.otf file)，然后单击安装(install )按钮。
您现在将在大多数应用程序中找到可用的字体。这将包括Microsoft Word、Photoshop和大多数其他具有某种文字处理(word processing)和字体选择器的流行程序。在Mac上，双击安装.ttf 文件(.ttf file)，然后在出现提示时单击安装字体(Install Font )按钮。
如何在Adobe Creative Cloud中添加字体(Adobe Creative Cloud)
只需单击几 下，您就可以找到各种免费字体以安装到您的Adobe Creative Cloud 应用程序中。(Adobe Creative Cloud apps)
首先打开Adobe Creative Cloud。接下来(Next)，单击右上角的斜体 f 图标( italic f icon)，然后单击浏览所有字体(Browse All Fonts)。一个新页面将在您的浏览器中打开。如果您尚未登录(Sign)Adobe 帐户，您将可以访问强大的字体(Adobe account)搜索引擎(search engine)。
浏览(Browse)类别或搜索特定的字体名称(font name)、字体系列或字体创建者。找到字体后，双击它，您会发现自己在一个新页面上，您可以在其中单击以激活每种字体。单击激活按钮(activate button)，字体将在您的Adobe Creative Cloud 应用程序(Adobe Creative Cloud apps)中可用。

What Font Is This? Tools To Identify a Font On a Page
Want to grab a font from an image or text? Thеre are some surprisingly powerful tools available thаt can do all of the work for you. Once you know what font it is, you can then look online to download it and you’ll bе able to use it with your usual word processing apps.
These tools aren’t always perfect at getting the exact font you’re looking for, but instead you’ll find a range of results that are very similar to the font you’ve scanned. Sometimes you can find the exact font too, but either way it’s much better than trying to search hopelessly online for a specific font name.
We’ll take a look at some font finder tools, then explain how you can install the fonts to your computer too.
The Best Font Finder Tools
Before we list the best font finder tools to discover the font, here is a quick tip for getting your font ready for scanning.
If you want to scan font from a PDF, document or web page, take a screenshot of the page as opposed to copying and pasting the text itself. If it’s text in a photo, you can crop out most of the background so that you’re left with just the font.
Next, follow the steps mentioned below for either of these font finder tools we have included.
Visit the link above, click and drag your photo into the box, and Myfonts will identify any text in the image. Then, simply click to drag around the text you’d like to scan.
What The Font does a great job at finding text in an image, so in almost all cases you should see that the text is automatically highlighted. If not, you can use the drag tool to highlight the text manually. Once you do this, click the blue arrow to identify your font.
Like mentioned earlier, the font may not always be recognized immediately, but you’ll get a range of options. In our testing, What The Font found the right font, but placed it second in the list.
Many of the options here are very similar and you can enter your own text to see how the font will appear. We’ll explain later how you can find free variants of these fonts and also install it to your computer.
We found that What The Font was a more user friendly font scanner and worked accurately more often. For example, the darker images shown earlier could be detected by What The Font, but not by Fontspring. However, if What The Font isn’t working as intended, you can try Font Matcherator by Fontspring.
Visit the link above and drag your image into the box on the Font Matcherator website. Click and drag to surround the text with the marked box. If text is found, you will see red boxes outlining the text. Once you’re happy with the results, click the green Matcherate it button.
The end result may not be as accurate as you’d hope, but you should still see fonts that look similar to the one you scanned.
How to Download Free Fonts Online
You’ve found a font you like and have the name, but don’t want to pay $20 to $100 for it? Thankfully there are alternatives. Many font creators will create free versions of their fonts and you can find them online.
To do this, visit dafont then search for your font name in the search bar.
Once you’ve found the font, click the download button. Pay attention to the usage rights. Usually, these fonts are available for free for personal use, but you must pay the author for commercial usage rights.
If you cannot find your font here, you can go back to What The Font or Font Matcherator to find the name of a similar font. It may take some time to search around for an available font, but it can be worth it if you’re only using it for personal use.
If you need the font for commercial use, it’s best to purchase them off of websites like Myfonts or fonts.com. If you can’t find a font you like, you could always create your own font.
Once you’ve downloaded your font, it should be in a .zip file. Extract the .zip file with an archive tool and then browse to the location of the unzipped contents. Double click to run the .otf file and then click the install button.
You will now find the font available in most apps. This will include Microsoft Word, Photoshop, and most other popular programs that have some sort of word processing and font selector. On Mac, double click to install the .ttf file and then click the Install Font button when prompted.
How to Add Fonts in Adobe Creative Cloud
You can find a variety of free fonts to install to your Adobe Creative Cloud apps with just a few clicks.
First open Adobe Creative Cloud. Next, click the italic f icon in the top right and then click Browse All Fonts. A new page will open in your browser. Sign into your Adobe account if you haven’t already, and you’ll have access to a powerful font search engine.
Browse through the categories or search for a specific font name, font family, or font creator. Once you’ve found a font, double click it and you’ll find yourself on a new page where you can click to activate each font. Click the activate button and the font will be available in your Adobe Creative Cloud apps.
