Hi

I formatted my computer a while ago and forgot that I wiped out my fonts. The problem is, there is a font that i just cant remember its name. I know its name was small, probably 4-5 characters and it had numbers something like 0_49, I cant remember.

This is the font in the banner saying "dgc":

(this is a site i made a long long time ago, and its still up :P)

Good to see found the font quickly. Losing locally installed fonts after a reformat is common; here is a compact, practical workflow for identifying a font from an image or recovering fonts from a site, plus how to avoid the problem next time.

If you only have the banner image, grab a high-resolution crop that isolates the letters, save as PNG, and remove heavy effects (shadows, bevels) if you can. Upload that crop to a font-identification service such as WhatTheFont or Font Squirrel Matcherator. If you can describe letter shapes instead of an image, try . If the banner came from an existing website, open Developer Tools (F12) and check the Network tab or CSS for @font-face rules and downloadable .woff/.ttf files; see MDN on @font-face for how fonts are embedded.

For prevention and local recovery: back up the actual font files before formatting. On Windows the files live in C:\Windows\Fonts (copy the .ttf/.otf files), macOS uses /Library/Fonts or ~/Library/Fonts (use Font Book to reveal in Finder), and Linux stores fonts in /usr/share/fonts or ~/.fonts. Use a font manager (NexusFont, FontBase) to export and tag families, and keep a short license note with each file — many popular faces require purchase for commercial use. When asking forums for ID, include a clear, unaltered image of several distinct letters and any known characters; that makes accurate ID far more likely.
