Here's an example of how to get this kind of information. I copied the
file "Apple Chancery.dfont" from /Library/Fonts/ to my desktop and then
ran this AppleScript:
----
set theFile to choose file
tell application "Finder"
properties of theFile
end tell
----
The result was all of the properties of the file:
{class:document file, name:"Apple Chancery.dfont", index:5, displayed
name:"Apple Chancery.dfont", name extension:"dfont", extension
hidden:false, container:folder "Desktop" of folder "theuser" of folder
"Users" of startup disk, disk:startup disk, position:{-1, -1},
bounds:{-33, -33, 31, 31}, kind:"Datafork TrueType font", label
index:0, locked:false, description:missing value, comment:"",
size:3.33686E+5, physical size:3.35872E+5, creation date:date
"Wednesday, September 17, 2003 8:06:15 PM", modification date:date
"Wednesday, September 17, 2003 8:06:15 PM", icon:missing value,
URL:"file://localhost/Users/theuser/Desktop/Apple Chancery.dfont",
owner:"theuser", group:"staff", owner privileges:read write, group
privileges:read write, everyones privileges:read only, file
type:missing value, creator type:missing value, stationery:false,
product version:"", version:"4.1d1. Copyright ) 2002-2003 Apple
Computer, Inc. All rights reserved."}
If you want any particular information just get it explicitly:
----
set theFile to choose file
tell application "Finder"
display dialog "" & name of theFile & return & version of theFile
end tell
----

When you do an info on a DFONT or OTF font, you can expand the
General
arrow to see more information such as the Kind, Size, Where, Created,
Modified, Version, Full Name and Copyright. Does anybody know how to
access
this information with an Applescript running under OSX?
