How to capture fonts from the websites?

"Text fonts

You can view the source of the page and then look for the stylesheet. This would be in the files ending in .css

So for something like Super User, you would look at the source code and spot this (don't worry about the bit after the question mark (?)):

<link rel=""stylesheet"" href=""http://sstatic.net/su/all.css?v=4372"">

Then drill about inside looking for anything like this:

font-family:Consolas,Monaco,Lucida Console,Liberation Mono,
DejaVu Sans Mono,Bitstream Vera Sans

This will show you what the site is defaulting to use for text. If you have a matching font from that list on your computer, it will display. Otherwise, it would just continue until it hit something.

Fonts in images

For text used in any graphics, you could go to something like What The Font! and use the guessing machine to pinpoint what font the site might have used."

"To figure out what font is preferred according to the CSS, see the excellent Firebug add-on for Firefox, or the built-in Web Inspector in Safari. (See Utility to determine the font used on a site?)

As there are only a few fonts that are available on most computers, some web sites use dynamically generated images to replace the actual text. However, not all font license agreements allow for using fonts on a website, while personal license agreements allow usage on specific websites only. That's why, for example, cufón ensures that the font is only used on the website the replacement was designed for. One cannot use such fonts on other domains then.

According to cufón:

See Fonts and the Law at fontembedding.com for more information. Fonts produced by the following foundries/vendors/creators are known to be safe: Adobe Systems.
