The approach of Peter is very well (I like it).
But here is another approach:

Sometimes I don't know, which fonts will arrive in InDesign and I dont't want to customize scripts every time for new documents.
Here is a script that will create a character style based on font name and style of the first character of the selection. The name of the CS is put together of the font name and the style of the first character of the selection.



var myDoc = app.documents[0]; 
var mySel = app.selection[0].characters[0];

var myFont = mySel.characters[0].appliedFont.fontFamily; 
var myStyle = mySel.characters[0].appliedFont.fontStyleName; 
try 
{ 
	myCStyle = myDoc.characterStyles.add({name:myFont + "-" + myStyle, appliedFont: myFont, fontStyle:myStyle}) 
} 
catch(e) 
{ 
	myCStyle = myDoc.characterStyles.item(myFont + "-" + myStyle) 
}

app.findPreferences = null; app.changePreferences = null; 
var myResults = myDoc.search("", false, false, undefined, {appliedFont:myFont, fontStyle:myStyle},{appliedCharacterStyle:myCStyle}) 


This script is not as well formed as Peter's is.
But maybe it sometimes will help too.
