Goal: search the document and output a .info/text of all fonts used in the illustrator document, including within transparency masks.
When a font is used via the transparency panel, it is not output with either the document info -> save function or the find font > save list features provided from illustrator.
But it is output via packaging, and shows up in the package>fonts folder. So somehow illustrator was able to find it in the transparency mask.
Is there a way to latch onto this font hidden in a transparency mask for list output?
Below is a script borrowed/modified from a few sources to search within a directory folder for an AI file and to output an info file, but it cannot detect fonts in a transparency mask either. Any suggestions on how to include fonts clipped in those transparency masks in the output?
//Font Finder modified
//ignore target error below on line 3
#target illustrator
var inputFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select a folder contains adobe Illustrator files "); // Establish directory scope
if (inputFolder) {
var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles('*.ai'), // Target only adobe illustrator files
fontsInfo = [];
loadXMPLibrary();
for (var i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++) {
if (fileList instanceof File && fileList.hidden == false) {
fontsInfo.push(getFontsInfo(fileList));
}
}
unloadXMPLibrary();
}
var Loginfo = new File(inputFolder + '/Font.info.txt');
Loginfo.open('w', 'TEXT', '????');
var info = fontsInfo.join('\n\n');
Loginfo.write(info);
Loginfo.close();
if (/(Open Type|TrueType)/.test(info)) {
alert('Fonts Output to Designated Folder as .info')
}

xmpFile, oXmp, fontNumber, i, path, fontname, fonttype, ns = 'http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/t/pg/';
xmpFile = new XMPFile(file.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_READ);
