When I have an image of a font and need to know the name, the first place I go to is WhatTheFont, which lets you upload a sample image, identify which connected parts of the image (that it automatically identified) map to which letters, and get results. It's really quite handy!

Since it works only on connected parts of the image, the letter "i" is often detected as two separate characters - the dot and the tail. In that case I normally leave it blank for both, so that it doesn't give any false matches.
