For .doc files (but not .docx), you can use the Recover Text from Any File
setting to open the file, and there is a list of fonts at the end. Be
careful not to save in text format.

So there _isn't_ a way to get a list of all the fonts?
"Font Substitution" is quite handy -- but only if fonts in an acquired
document aren't installed in the system.
Hmm. That's not much of a help. Though it would have been this time --
those Berkeley folk who don't believe in Styles also insisted on
a .doc not .docx file and wanted me to send every font that wasn't
TNR, so the way I located them was Find TNR > Highlight All (or
whatever it's called), and check the font of the non-highlighted bits.
Of course they were just the fonts you get when you insert characters
in the Cherokee, Unified Syllabics, and Ethiopic ranges -- I didn't
need to go hunting for downloads of any of them. I also didn't send
SimSun -- I figured they can use whichever Japanese font they want!
Maybe this can be done with a macro? Ask in a programming group.
