   Pdffonts  lists the fonts used in a Portable Document Format (PDF) file
   along with various information for each font.

   The following information is listed for each font:

          including a subset prefix)

   type   the font type -- see below for details

          the font encoding

   emb    "yes" if the font is embedded in the PDF file

   sub    "yes" if the font is a subset

   uni    "yes"  if  there  is an explicit "ToUnicode" map in the PDF file
          (the absence of a ToUnicode map doesn't  necessarily  mean  that
          the text can't be converted to Unicode)
