For the first time, someone is getting closer to what I want! This FontMatch tool is the closest thing yet. Thank you.
However, it seems really silly that Windows and/or Mac OS/X can't be simply asked, "if I gave you this font spec, on this computer (with all it's installed fonts), what actual font did (would) you respond with?" Seems like a simple, algorithmic (rather than OCR) solution would be possible, even easy. After all, the OS is doing the font mapping, why can't you inquire what it did? Thanks again for your work on my behalf, I think I'll twiddle with this FontMatch thingy...
