Is there a way to find out what fonts are used in a publication?

I need to hand a file over to someone else, and want it to be as smooth a handover as possible!

Thanks, Linda

You might need to run this for each page, or if you have a master page, believe you can have this task completed from within the master page, provided each page in you publication that has text objects call it.

The task is two fold, get the object type by cycling through all the objects in the page, and then for those of type Text, use function GetSelectionStyle() whose object result will have an item fontname. Since this task is temporary, you can output the values as messages in the debug window.

please see help file on these functions..

GetChild()
GetType()
GetSelectionStyle()

Only got the help file with me today so, can't put together an example till later in the day...

Thanks for this, but I just found the rather simpler answer.... there's a Replace Fonts tab within tools that lists what I'm using.
