Keep in mind that the Document Info panel currently fails to list fonts if they are used in symbol instances, brushes, envelopes, for example.

 

In those cases the Type menu > Find Font dialog is more reliable. You can also export a list from there.

The issue is I have to physically click onto the font in order for it to tell me in the document window what it is.

I'm looking for a tool similar to InDesign - Just go to a window and it automatically gives me a summary of ALL the fonts embedded in the AI file. This is a HUGE file I'm dealing with that contains lots of different fonts.

Not a feature?

Document Info lists all the fonts, you do not need to select anything.
