This is possible with PDFKit, but IMHO this would amount to feature
bloat, so it isn't and won't be possible in Skim. However you can
write an AppleScript that does this. It's a bit complicated due to a
longstanding bug AppleScript though.
tell document 1 of application "Skim"
set theSel to get selection
if theSel is not {} then
set thePage to (get item 1 of (get pages for theSel))
set theIndex to (get index for theSel)
set theFont to font of character theIndex of thePage
set theSize to size of character theIndex of thePage
display dialog "Font for selection: " & theFont & space & theSize &
"pt"
end if
end tell

Hello Christiaan,
I assume not supported by PDFkit, and thus not possible, but
nevertheless something I would sometimes wish to have:
Select a small piece of text in a PDF, and Skim tells me what font
and/or font-size this is.
I figured that when copying (at least) the font-size ends up in the
Clipboard. Font-size would already be quite something to have in a
status bar, tooltip, info-window, or whatever.
Hope you don't mind feature ideas,
/Konrad
