- Checking whether a PDF embeds fonts correctly for archival or print.

FAQ
- Will this show every font? It shows fonts declared in page resource dictionaries. Some PDFs embed fonts in non-standard ways that this tool may not detect.
- What does "TrueType" vs "Type1" mean? TrueType and Type1 are two common outline font formats. TrueType was developed by Apple/Microsoft, Type1 by Adobe. Both produce high-quality text at any size.
