Font identification sites

[SapereAude]

I think I have mentioned elsewhere that I bought a font collection from the German company, SoftMaker. Overall, the collection includes 7,500 fonts, but that's including all variations. It's not 7,500 typefaces, but it's still a lot. And, unfortunately, ALL the typefaces/fonts bear names that SoftMaker has to them, and I have been trying unsuccessfully to figure out what mainstream, commercial fonts the fonts in this collection correspond to.

There must be sites that allow you to enter a sample of text and that can identify the font, or at least the font family. Can someone point me to such a site?

Thank you.

I can save you the work (actually, Luc Devroye did the heavy lifting).

Here is his compilation of font collections and their font names/aliases.

And he has a PDF of font name equivalents/license holders for one of Softmaker's collections (see attached, starting on page 12).

Fantastic! Many, many thanks. This will save me a TON of work!
