I found by doing a (long and manual) search for Halloween fonts! Both your examples are the same one, just upper and lowecase.
The font is called Antique Shop Regular.
Antique shop has a unique period style. Features ornamental caps,
automatic ligatures and manual stylistic alternates.

If you want a web tool, I don't believe such a thing exists. There are some free software options, though.
There is FontForge, but the last time I tried using it was beyond frustrating. I could not get it to run for very long without crashing (and tried across many different operating systems). It's even addressed in the FAQ:
Why is FontForge so ...

Its a modified font called Revue BT Regular. All they did was add a stroke:

Search for programming fonts.
Character differentiation can be crucial when programming; these are fonts that are designed specifically with this sort of thing in mind.
Consolas is a very popular choice. Here's what those characters look like:
Here's a huge thread on programming fonts over at Stack Overflow: Recommended Fonts for Programming?
I ...

If you are looking for a similar font: There are many like it under the Old School category at DaFont, just waiting for a skew to be applied.
At a glance, looks like the closest is Nebraska. With a faux-italic applied in Photoshop, it looks like this:
If you are designing something for the Nicholls athletics program, stop. They should have a graphics ...

The letters are the most distinctive element of this font; that serif on the 7 isn't too common. Also, when looking, keep an eye out for the 'K' in particular, since the diagonals don't always cross like that.
I scanned through MyFonts' sans-serif list and found Houschka Pro Medium:
I don't know if it's a perfect fit (the size and tracking on your ...

I would consider the google-font "Oswald" It comes only in 3 weights and has no italic or oblique version, but reminds me of the Univers Condensed type. Try changing Oswald 1pt less than Univers, regular -> light and bold -> regular.. Last, change tracking to +50..
That should do the job.. :-)..

I have found some other fonts (all with Zapf in its name but I don't know if Herrman Zapf is the author of them)
Zapf Chancery Normal
This font is also available for pdflatex as metafont.
Zapf Chance Italic
Zapf Calligraphic 801 Italic
Italianno
Furthermore I have found another font called Italianno:

Out of the LaTeX metafonts on this page, I think the closest to Zaphino One would be Calligra
Calligra
Ignoring the LaTeX metafont requirement, there is usually a section devoted to wedding fonts at the larger font vendor websites. Lovers Pro has a similar style but has a little more flamboyance. Virtuosa Classic also looks similar to Zapfino One and is ...

I have found out the font. It is Domestic Manners. You can see the preview here. Thanks to Matt_2.0. I was using this font too! :)

This is an actual font and I it is bugging me that I cannot remember it. Also, this font would be considered as a handwritten font. You can look through many font sites but look for specific characteristics. In this case the Q, lowercase f, and lowercase g should work.
Some similar fonts I have found:
Seriously
Architect's Daughter

I think you can give your website a unique thumbprint by using more than one typeface. Typically, I like the aesthetics of a distinct typeface for headings and another for paragraph text.
Since you mentioned you're looking for free fonts, I'm sure you already know about Google Web Fonts. What you may not know is that they have a page of suggested font ...

We've got an existing question listing fonts similar to Avant Garde: What's a good replacement font for ITC Avant Garde Std?. It might be one of the very similar fonts listed there (e.g. Tex Gyre Adventor or Raleway).
But to answer the other implied part of the question - is it likely that they modified the type for this album cover? - yes, it's very ...

I would use "Ubuntu" to replace the "NeoSans".
To replace "Fago" I would use "Aller".
They’re both designed by The Dalton Maag Font Foundrie.
The first one, "Ubuntu", is free to use and you can download it from http://www.google.com/fonts/.
The second one is free, but only up to 25 users, and you can download it here: ...

From a quick visual check:
FF Fago: Adobe Source Sans Pro
Neo Sans Intel: Latin Modern Sans
Note that I didn't do a detailed comparison (didn't check letter spacing in particular); those are just what comes to my mind and seem relatively similar. If you are looking for specific font features / characteristics, please specify them.

The Website:
For websites, until @font-face has a wider support (and this is my very personal opinion) I'd be very careful with the non-web safe fonts you use. You are using fonts and tables, so you need your information to be clear and readable. 9pts sounds terribly small, I don't know how OpenSans renders at that size, but I've used it for larger text and ...

Because this wordmark also reminded me of the Oracle logo, I searched for a rough free equivalent and landed on Promethean:
Clearly different, but gets you in the same ballpark at least.
Note its license...free for personal use only.

Re-posting as answer here just in case someone misses the comment.
I've always used Liberation Sans for web, because it's one of the fonts that render the best with @font-face:

The good one is Neue Haas Grotesk, but if you need a typeface only for headings I can propose my own typeface :) Take a look on this image.

I don’t know if there is some kind of standard for fonts in NBA broadcasts, but obviously they have to maintain readability even if they are small and pixelated.
The apertures and counters should be big and easily recognizable.
The Frutiger family was designed for the guidance system of the airport Charles de Gaulle and should work just fine.
Maybe you ...

Posting Ivan's message as an answer, as he left it in a comment.
I know you have experience of using an anti-alias font, BUT im doing
for classic 8 bit videogame fonts
I found a solution, I was using the 64 bit version of Photoshop CS5.
It looks fixed and clean using "None" parameters in the 32 bit
version.

I know this is an old question but still quite interesting too see that Microsoft decided not to either opensource their fonts or make them available for purchase. Unfortunately, even now it is not possible to legally use any of the Segoe UI or Segoe WP family fonts in your own materials (commercially or otherwise), it is also impossible to take the ones ...

In my experience it is typical even for many professionally designed fonts to omit some relatively important kern pairs or kern things less than well, especially once you step outside the basic A-Z, or capitals followed by lowercase. Common weak points are symbols next to letters, lowercase letters preceding capital letters (important for many modern ...
