Update: It's identified! Thanks to the commenters who quickly identified the font as Textile. This was a font Apple distributed with OS 9, but never OS X. When I last upgraded my machine, I didn't bother to reinstall Classic, since I never used it. However, I did keep a disk image of Classic around on a backup, so I'm now set once again with Textile--thanks again for the fast response!
About five years ago, I created a project for an event at my wife's employer. What started as something small and simple grew into (of course) something large and complex. But the event was a success, so the efforts were worth it.
Fast forward five years, and the company would love it if I could update the presentation to cover their latest five years. No problem, I think, as I've managed to keep all the project files intact over the years. But I can't say the same for my Macs. I believe I've upgraded twice since I originally created the project (in iMovie2, as a reference point). And whatever font it is I used in the project has long since vanished.
Now that I'm updating it, however, I need to know what font I used--I'm sure it's on a disk around here somewhere, but I have no idea what it might be called. Since I'm far from a font expert, I figured I'd ask for some assistance. How about it? Anyone have any thoughts on what font family I might have used?
Thanks!
Try here: Identifont
A couple of combinations brought up things that looked similar but not exact, but if you have more letters available to compare than the image you posted, you might have beeter luck.
I could've sworn that was Georgia, but it's not. But I knew I've seen it before, and going through my installed fonts, in turns out to be Textile, 24 pt.

Errr... better luck.
Yeah.
Well, looking through the fonts menu in Word, I would have to guess that you're looking for
"Textile"
Yeah that's definitely Textile
Thanks for the quick replies--it was indeed Textile, and I'm now back in business.
Hooray!

It does not work in this case because the characters are not sharp enough, but WhatTheFont is great when you have a sample image of the font with only a few characters (and therefore you have trouble answering all of Identifont's questions).
