Hi there,
I've recently ungraded to Windows 10 and now my What the Font? option does not work anymore. Instead it comes up with an error that reads:
Microsoft Visual C++
Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program:C:\ProgramFil...
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
Please help! Would love to be able to use what the font again directly from the Corel menu.
Thanks!

Me too, "What The Font" is very useful Even on Adobe forums, it's the best and most popular adviced option for find a font. And for most font it works fine. Moreover, it's included on the program and it was amde by the same company that provide the fonts that are included on the program. For me, it's far the best option.
What the Font was better before Bitstream bought out MyFonts. It was more akin to the wider results of whatfontis.com. What the Font heavily favors fonts they sell and the results seem to disregard other sources.
As was mentioned, if one has to do much font recognition, one cannot at this point find a better solution than FindMyFont. One thing that I rely on FMF is to simply see if I already have the font or some variation of it. I have 2 folders that contain 30k or so fonts, aside from the folder that my font manager uses. So being able to search on-line as well as locally is a great boon to me.
