NAME

       pdffonts - Portable Document Format (PDF) font analyzer (version 3.03)


SYNOPSIS

       pdffonts [options] [PDF-file]


DESCRIPTION

       Pdffonts  lists the fonts used in a Portable Document Format (PDF) file
       along with various information for each font.

       The following information is listed for each font:

       name   the font name, exactly as given in  the  PDF  file  (potentially
	      including a subset prefix)

       type   the font type -- see below for details

       encoding
	      the font encoding

       emb    "yes" if the font is embedded in the PDF file

       sub    "yes" if the font is a subset

       uni    "yes"  if  there	is an explicit "ToUnicode" map in the PDF file
	      (the absence of a ToUnicode map doesn't  necessarily  mean  that
	      the text can't be converted to Unicode)

       object ID
	      the font dictionary object ID (number and generation)

       PDF files can contain the following types of fonts:

	      Type 1
	      Type 1C -- aka Compact Font Format (CFF)
	      Type 3
	      TrueType
	      CID Type 0 -- 16-bit font with no specified type
	      CID Type 0C -- 16-bit PostScript CFF font
	      CID TrueType -- 16-bit TrueType font
