Would anyone know why the "What's The Font" no longer works on my CorelDraw X6? Any help is much, much appreciated.

"No longer works" as in the menu option is greyed out? Do you receive an error? Do you have the menu option, but nothing happens when you click on it? A little more details please.

It's working on mine, both X6 and X8. What exactly is yours doing/not doing?

Sorry, I guess that was a little sketchy. I get an error message every time I try to use it.

Sounds like Corel/What the Font is trying to access the internet but is being blocked by firewall software. Can you access the internet from that computer and view new content such as https://www.time.gov/

If you can view that link successfully, try temporarily deactivating your firewall and try WhatTheFont

You can also access the WhatTheFont website directly at: https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/

I used to use WhatTheFont....but then I bought Find My Font and found it to be 1,000 times better. It was well worth the minimal cost.

I turned off my Windows Firewall and McAfee firewall and I still get the same message.

I have never heard of the "Find My Font", there are several out there, is it the one that is $49. for the Pro version?

I think it's just findmyfont(dot)com......and I think they have a free 30 day download. It was literally one of the best investments I made.
