Is it possible to determine which font-files pdflatex uses for a compilation

Question

I am trying to make a small portable texlive package. For this I need to clear out the fonts (they take 1.7GB).

So having a few example documents, can I somehow determine which font files in the latex font directory are used by pdflatex during compilation?

Also you can take a look at http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/45919/how-do-i-find-out-what-fonts-are-used-in-a-document-picture — Majid Abdolshah, Sep 17 '16 at 16:48
During the installation of texlive, you can select which font collections should be installed. For example if you only deal with western texts, deselect all asian related things. Did you already do this? — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Sep 17 '16 at 17:00

Just by way of example, this is what I get from a recent example file. I ran again pdflatex with the -recorder command line option, which created a file with extension .fls:

You can easily see the .tfm and .pfb files you need. However, recall that the .tfm font files loaded at format creation are not shown (they are the Computer Modern fonts, in a standard installation).

Also .vf files are listed, if needed.

Is it possible to determine which font-files pdflatex uses for a compilation
