How to find number of fonts in InDesign?

[Asadali92]

Is there any shortcut to check how many fonts are used in an InDesign document and the names of fonts?

Type > Find / Change Font

I'll add two more things to what Bob has said:

In current versions of InDesign, the command is Type > Find/Replace Font.

You can gain much more information in the dialog of you click the More Info button when you have a font selected in the list.

Then you can see a large amount of information of the font - how many characters or styles are used by the font, what type and version, and so on as shown below:

Check out this script. You can assign a shortcut to it.

The keyboard shortcut to this is Alt F on a PC, not sure what it is on Mac, maybe Opt F

On a Mac, there is no pre-built shortcut for Find/Replace Fonts. But in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts, you can create one, in the Type menu category,.

Thanks Steve, can always count on you for the answer!!!

Package?

[Brad @ Roaring Mouse]

Some font managers have a utility to check the font usage in various document formats. including InDesign. Although they can be mislead by unused Styles, etc, to list many more fonts than actually used, this would be the same issue you would face using the Find / Change Font route... as it also reads fonts defined in Paragraph and/or Character Styles, whether you use them or not.

The other thing you can do is create a Report through the Package command... that will include a list of the used fonts and file paths.

That's what I've suggested 40 minutes ago 😉

@Robert at ID-Tasker Sorry, I missed that. Sometimes if I leave a page open longer than I should, by the time I finally post a response, other responses have been added but I haven't seen them because I didn't refresh!
