I have an old CPT doc. When I open it it has 2 different texts in two
different fonts. I still have one of them in my system, but not the
other. I would like to find the missing font, but i must know its name
first. When i click on it with the text tool on the cursor, Photo-Paint
automatically converts it to Arial... Not right click on it, or the
properties from the doc will help, so... how can I know that fontīs
name?

If you didn't get a message saying something like,
"XYZ font unavailable. Arial substituted"
Then you're probably out of luck. You COULD try opening the CPT file
with a hex editor and looking for a character string that might be the
name of the font.

I've tried that way back with success. The font name is followed by
txt but there may be spaces such as t xt. I use AXARScan which shows
hex and the value, and has a search function (search for tx, xt in
text). There are quite a few hex editors around.

I just tried anew and found the above did not always work. If you
don't have any idea what the font is, you can look for txt per above
or text properties like let, bt, dbol, lt, hv, md.
