Show a document's fonts with type and status

From CC 2014, InDesign's Find Font dialog no longer shows the type and status of a document's fonts. The script fixes that. Run the script with a document open and it shows the fonts status and type as shown in the screenshot.

Show font status and type

Font type: Can be ATC, Bitmap, CID, OCF, OpenType CCF, OpentType CID, OpenType TT, Truetype, Type 1, or Unknown. Adobe fonts have (AK) affixed to their type.

Font status: Fauxed, Installed, Not available, Substituted, or Unknown.

To show more details of a font, select it and click Details. This opens a new window and simply lists all font properties exposed to scripting and the type sizes used in the document.

Show font details

To save the contents of the dialog to a file, click Save; the file is stored on your desktop under the name ShowFonts.txt and will be opened and displayed immediately.
