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.

       If PDF-file is ´-', it reads the PDF file from stdin.

       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 neces‐
	      sarily 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
