Description pipitas 2012-07-30 22:12:59 UTC
I was extremely pleased when I discovered the additional column for 'encoding' in the output of 'pdffonts'. Thanks a lot for this recent feature, I really appreciate it  :-)

May I ask for another feature that would fit well into this list?

  * Give additional info about the size of each (embedded)
    font (in bytes or kBytes) as consumed inside the PDF!

This info could frequently be very useful to know, not only for debugging purposes. Users are often interested in knowing how much space is consumed by each resource category in a PDF file. Fonts are one of the most important ones.

The font list is already very long. It may be better to provide an option to enable this. Maybe something like "-extra" (I can't think of a better name right now) that displays Name, Object ID, and Size. This leaves room to add additional columns in future.
Comment 2 pipitas 2012-07-30 23:08:27 UTC
Ok, if the default listing is already too "wide" to seat an additional column, using a special option '-extra' or '-space' to show this info would be OK with me  :-)
