Find fonts only with visible characters
Posted: Wed Feb 27, 2019 6:39 pm
Does anyone have a method for locating fonts by name that are only used for visible characters?
I'm using the Font Name feature in a Preflight Profile to flag as an error fonts that should not be used in a document. This is to help enforce brand guidelines. So for example, Arial should not appear in any PDF, but often sneaks in as spaces or other non-visible styling from Office documents. I have a Preflight Profile setup to flag as an error if Arial is in the PDF. However, if all those instances of Arial are such invisible characters/styling, I don't want PitStop to flag it as an error. Only if a visible character is in Arial, should an error be produced.
