Hello,

I am looking for a small program or something that would allow me to know the font used for a document (Word, PDF, ...)

Thank you in advance for your responses.

    Solution to detect the font used in a PDF or an Image

    From a PDF:
    With the help of Word
    - Open the PDF
    - Select the text
    - Copy
    - Paste into a Word document
    - The font will appear at the top
    Warning, as JeanC38 points out, it doesn't work every time!

    From an Image:
    With the help of websites
    - either Myfont (https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/
    - or Identifont (http://www.identifont.com/
    With the help of software
    - FontExpert
    Warning, the result heavily depends on the sharpness of the image.

    Then download the font from Dafont (https://www.dafont.com/fr/
