This isn't the first time I've told you how to identify fonts — What the Font can usually do the trick, but this way is even easier, and more accurate, too. Identifont is a website that identifies fonts — especially the really wily ones, and it's a pretty low-tech approach.
You "describe" what certain letters look like in a font, with their prompts of course, and then Identifont figures out what it is and tells you. You all already know of my love for fonts, so this will just increase my knowledge.

I remember having to take "font identification" tests in my typography class back in my university days.
This is exactly how we used to learn how to tell fonts apart, based on certain unique letters. Very cool
1why do you need to be able to recognize different fonts?
2Cool. I'll check this out. I usually do what the font when I need to figure these things out.
3This is wonderful. I love to make icons, and I'm always wondering what fonts others are using. I'm gonna go test it!
4@krae85 - If you run into a client who's logo and design guidelines are so old and they no longer know what font was used in their previous work.
It's pretty common.
5This is pretty cool. It might come in handy sometime. I might test it out just for fun.
6This could be very useful, thanks!
