So how long does it take for FontMatch™ to identify a font? We tested the scan below on several different computers to see how they compared. The computers were asked to load and scan through the same number of fonts (1750). The new Minimum Threshold was set to 50%*. All results were between 0 and 2.5 minutes. No, that's not instantaneous, but compare that to looking through 1750 fonts by hand. These specs have been updated for version 1.5. If you're interested in seeing a comparison against version 1.2, click here.
