Fonts
What it shows
Fonts lists fonts used by the PDF, including font names, font types, encodings, embedding status, subset status, and text counts.
When to use it
Use it for prepress QA, publishing checks, and diagnosing text rendering differences.
Fonts Table

|---|---|
| Font Name | The base font name after separating any subset prefix. |

Review steps
- Check whether required fonts are embedded or subset.
- Look for unexpected fallback fonts, producer-specific names, or unusual encodings.
- Compare font findings with visible rendering issues in the preview.
- Review Pages and Size Analysis when fonts contribute to output or size problems.
