I'm trying to make some buttons for a web application at work. We already have some existing buttons someone created a year or so ago but now we need some extra ones. I'm not a graphic artist or anything so I'm trying to figure out which font they used so I can make some new ones. I thought it was arial but in photoshop they don't seem to match up. If one of you guys could take a look at these buttons and tell me what font it is I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

I am not positive but it looks like it might be Tahoma.

Are you setting anti-aliasing at all?

It looks pretty close to 14pt Arial with Crisp anti-aliasing and the color set all the way to black. Unless it was made on a Mac with Helvetica or something.... I don't know how similar those two fonts are.

Thanks for the help guys. I tried both of your suggestions and it looks like Tahoma is the right font. The shapes of the letters line up.

Even if it's not, the two will be close enough that no one will be able to tell.

Worst case you just re-do ALL of the buttons and save the PSD files so next year when someone needs to change them they are ready to go.
