In PDFBox2, you would get the fonts and their embedded-status like this:

PDResources resources = page.getResources();
Iterator<COSName> ite = resources.getFontNames();
while (ite.hasNext()) {
    COSName name = ite.next();
    PDFont font = resources.getFont(name);
    boolean isEmbedded = font.isEmbedded();
    // ... do something with the results ...
}

I found no way, though, to find out which characters of the font are embedded, and which are not.

You merely inspect the immediate resources of the pages, not the resources of xobjects shown on the pages. In particular n-up documents often have all interesting content in xobjects. – mkl Oct 04 '16 at 11:57

May be you find an answere here

or

To get all fonts, you have to iterate through pdf pages and extract font as below:

PDDocument  doc = PDDocument.load("C:/test.pdf");
List<PDPage> pages = doc.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages();
for(PDPage page:pages){
    Map<String,PDFont> pageFonts=page.getResources().getFonts();
}
