Hm.. if you read the thread from the beginning, that's what the OP was doing from the start. But as Camaleón pointed out, there are fonts that are listed by pdffonts, and yet, at least at first glance, there is no evidence that they are actually used in the document. So what I had in mind was something different: while you are viewing the pdf, you would be able to select a part of the document and the pdf viewer would tell you all the details relative to the font that was specified by the author for rendering the particular portion of the text that you selected. Or let you do it the other way around where you could search for occurrences of a given font and the pdf viewer would highlight the text that matches.
