Absolutely - I've used 'WTF' quite a lot over the years, never once from a mobile, nor can I imagine ever doing so.

I'm certainly not going to start taking photos of my monitor here, anyway!

Odd.

Normally I'm not the fan of unneeded mobile app dependence of things (e.g. home lighting). But in this case, taking photo of your computer monitor and getting font name as result seems more convenient than taking screenshot, cropping, uploading, etc...
If you're on a Mac, try Command + Shift + 4 to take a screenshot with a crop tool that's saved on your ~/Desktop folder.
The Windows equivalent (it sounds like) is Snipping Tool. Start -> Snip will show it. Or you can navigate to it under accessories. Extremely handy.
try command + cntrl + shift + 4.

copies the image straight into the clipboard, no detritus to your desktop. many web apps will just accept the cmd +V paste like an uploaded file.

What's wrong with taking photo of your monitor?
What's right, in this context?
