How to tell which font is used in a PDF?
- ezekg 9y agoTake a screenshot and run it through https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont.
- pinewurst 9y agoMany PDF viewers will list the fonts used. Acrobat at least used to do this.
- auxym 9y agopdffonts, part of poppler-utils, will dump a list of font names.
- jamessb 9y agoAnother, hackier, approach at the commandline is to use: strings file.pdf | grep -i fontname This will give a line like: <</StemV 120/FontName/ZXOBUP+MinionPro-BoldIt/FontStretch/Normal/FontFile3 426 0 R/FontWeight 700/Flags 98/Descent -360/FontBBox[-230 -360 1684 1032]/Ascent 1032/FontFamily(Minion Pro)/CapHeight 651/XHeight 454/Type/FontDescriptor/ItalicAngle -12/CharSet(/space/T/i/n/o/t/v)>> Comapred to pdffont's ZXOBUP+MinionPro-BoldIt Type 1C WinAnsi yes yes yes 364 0 Or you can use perl: strings file.pdf | perl -ne 'print "$1\n" if (/FontName\/(.+?)\//)' and get a list of font names alone, like: ZXOBUP+MinionPro-BoldIt
- ahazred8ta 9y agoOne way is to copy a word from that part of the PDF document, and paste it into Word or another rich text editor. Then click in the middle of the pasted word. The editor's font display will show you the name of the font. There is a Lin/Win/Mac font tool here http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/download.html http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/download.html
