Quick and meaningless post today. A friend mentioned the WhatTheFont app for the iPhone to me the other day, asking if there was something similar for my phone.
Well, I tried to take a picture of my computer’s screen displaying whatever, resized and cropped the pic on the built in editor, and uploaded it to the desktop version of the WhatTheFont site. And guess what, it worked.
So, the bottom line is: Who needs fancy apps when your browser can actually upload files :P
Practical? No. Good way to kill time 3am? Perhaps!
Update:
On a more real world situation, it recognized Gill Sans on a DVR-R cover, yay!
I bet someone with javascript skillz could make a easy to use WRT widget for WhatTheFont, but then again, S60 doesn’t have half the hype that the iphone has…

I’m going to create a WhatTheFont widget !
