User reviews

As of Dec 2021, I can report this extension works fine. I am not sure why so many people report it's not working. I will point out that "What Font - Find Font" is identical in functionality and appearance to the extension I suspect it's been forked (copied) from, which is "What Font" by Chengyin Liu. That extension has been available since for more than a decade, and has over 1 million users (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/whatfont/jabopobgcpjmedljpbcaablpmlmfcogm?hl=en) The fact it's identical is why I give this extension only four stars. Yes, it works. But it's got nothing original to it. And there's something very obvious that could have been added in order to justify forking Liu's "What Font" and releasing it as a new extension ("What Font - Find Font"). To me the one important yet missing feature on Liu's "What Font" (and now this "What Font - Find Font" copy) is the that neither display the letter-spacing info (aka. 'kerning'). This is a rather important piece of info when it comes to typography analysis. Other than that missing feature, this works well (just like Liu's "What Font" works). But it has no particular advantage over the original "What Font" from Chengyin Liu.
