For some reason I have the hardest time finding good Documentation on building Adobe extensions. All I am trying to do is access the available fonts for the user in illustrator, and have a way to let them know if they are from google fonts or not. any links to docs about access font information and working with the font picker?

You can get font list using textFonts property under the app object. But, Illustrator dose not have a way to get font vendor info.

However, you can get any informations from font files directory using ExtendScript.
