Yes. Sorry. I should have said "font definitions" rather than "font use". I
generally prefer the font super-set (based on definitions) to check/prevent
substitution.

Yes, that is a GNU/Linux command. As you indicate though it will only give
the super-set of fonts (according to definition) rather than in-text use.
For a presentation determining this is more complex, although I am sure some
combination of GNU tools would manage a rudimentary result. Parsing XML via
anything other than XML tools is inelegant.
Best wishes, Owen.
