This question has already been asked four years ago, but I just want to see if something new technically has arised:

In the css declaration block I can read out the font-families specified, but those names could represent anything.

Is there any technique to see the font used for a element, particularly custom web fonts?

    If something has changed it can be answered in the old question. No need for a new question. – John Conde Dec 02 '13 at 02:02
  • Let's say someone has answer today (but not four years ago), what's wrong with me bumping the question? What alternatives are there? Cause I don't know of any other way to re-actualize an old problem. – Fellow Stranger Dec 04 '13 at 06:05
  • Heya, you can get attention for old questions by adding a bounty, there's even a specific bounty reason for it ("needs up to date answer"). – Jeroen Mar 11 '14 at 22:17

you can also use chrome developer tool's inspect element to check the font loaded.

Does WhatTheFont's Chrome app do what you want? https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/whatfont/jabopobgcpjmedljpbcaablpmlmfcogm?hl=en

As you hover over live text on the web page, it looks into the css and tells you what font family is being used.
