: How to find out what a font on my computer's web font name is? I've got a font installed on my computer. I want to check it doesn't look terrible in common browsers before deciding whether

There might be an easier way, but this works:


Find the original font file on your computer
Copy the file name (except for the file extension)
Paste that (don't forget to use quotes - single or double - if it contains any spaces)


Note that occasionally, some fonts append the font weight to the filename - if they do, 1. shake your fist and growl, then 2. use that full string for each weight, without a separate font-weight.

For example, if the font file name is crazeE-font2 thin.tff your css will look like:

font-family: 'crazeE-font2 thin';

On both Windows (8+) and Mac, the easiest way to find original files for installed fonts is just doing a search for "fonts" in the usual system-wide search box.
