The following information is listed for each font:

    the font name, exactly as given in the PDF file (potentially including a subset prefix)

type

    the font type -- see below for details

emb

    "yes" if the font is embedded in the PDF file

sub

    "yes" if the font is a subset

    "yes" if there is an explicit "ToUnicode" map in the PDF file (the absence of a ToUnicode map doesn't necessarily mean that the text can't be converted to Unicode)

PDF files can contain the following types of fonts:

Type 1 Type 1C -- aka Compact Font Format (CFF) Type 3 TrueType CID Type 0 -- 16-bit font with no specified type CID Type 0C -- 16-bit PostScript CFF font CID TrueType -- 16-bit TrueType font
