Finding the Name of Your Font from Your Computer

To look up a specific font, you'll need to search your computer's font book. You will need the specific font name, and not the file name, as they are often different. We'll break down how to do this for both Mac and Windows machines.

macOS:

Step 1: - Head to the upper right-hand corner of your computer screen, and find the magnifying glass icon.  

Step 2: Click it, and type Font Book into the search bar.  

Step 3: Open Font Book to see a list of all your computer fonts. Be sure to click into the font in order to see the proper font name (rather than seeing the file name.) This is the font name you'll want to type into the BeFunky font search bar. 

Windows:

Step 1: Click into the windows start/home icon on the bottom left corner of your desktop screen, and type Control Panel. Click the control panel app.

Step 2: Find Appearance and Personalization and select it.

Step 3: Click Fonts.

Step 4: You will then see your installed fonts. Be sure to click into the font in order to see the proper font name(rather than seeing the file name.) This is the font name you'll want to type into the BeFunky font search bar.
