Well, supposedly you can use RTF (Rich Text Format) to save the original
file... I think that either lists all the fonts used in the document or
maybe just all the fonts the person who saved the file had installed on
his system...

Then you could look through the RTF format file and pick out which fonts
you don't have, but then that would be really tedious...
