Determine font type from a flat image?
Is there any way to use Photoshop to make a good guess at a font from a flat image? I need to edit a button but I don't have the PSD.

Edit: I actually got it this time around by guessing... but I'd love to hear about an automated tool for this if there is one. I feel like there's been a lot of stuff added to Photoshop recently but maybe not as much aimed at web developers (an image diff tool would be nice...).

I also really like this tool, I had to use it myself, and it TOTALLY WORKED!!! completely unbelievable... it goes through and asks you a series of questions. it really helps if you have a specific word you are looking at in the font you want to identify.
Fonts by Appearance
Too fun!
