How to list the fonts used in an adobe illustrator (AI) file, on linux?

I would like to list font names used inside an Adobe Illustrator (CS4 or CS5 I don’t remember) file, on my Fedora linux desktop.

Is it possible ? I tried to open it with Inkscape but I fail to see where the information is.

Answer

You can change the suffix of an .ai file to .txt then open it in any text editor.

Within the text file there are declarations for fonts:

<stFnt:fontName>SuperCoolFontNamedHere</stFnt:fontName>

I can’t speak for Fedora specifically, but surely there’s a method to search text files.
