I am writing a plugin and I cant seem to find a way in sdk to determine if the document has missing fonts

I also looked at the info regarding to the font format for a Font and could not find a way beyond CID fonts

So I came across PDFontWasFauxed is this a safe bet to detect missing font?

What specifically and exactly do you mean by a "missing font"? I am not sure this concept actually exists in a PDF. Do you mean the PDF is fine but the font is neither embedded, nor available to the system?

A font is not included in the document when it is saved

 

Also I cant find this function in the DC Sdk but mentioned in the documentation
