font is in use in a PDF doc.

It is not so easy!

File / document properties, slect fonts tab. It will show the list of fonts used. Or try the command line "pdffonts file.pdf" and will list that same list in a different format.

However, there is no way to know which letter in the file uses what font.

I have been forced, now and then, to create a document in OOo with a a (few) line(s) in just one font, export or convert to pdf, and run that command to check what fonts in OOo gets converted to what font in the PDF.

To make things worse, the fonts used are not the same if you export directly to pdf or to ps and use ps2pdf later to convert. Sometimes you get the internal fonts, sometimes they are embedded.
