Hi Alexander,
The Skyfonts plot clarifies. Indeed, thanks to you I have been able to discover
that the Skyfonts downloads are located here in Windows 10:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Monotype\skyfonts-myfonts
and
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Monotype\skyfonts-google
and so on - you can subscribe to multiple services.
Since I have a Monotype subscription the name is in the path, but I think you
can have SkyFonts from elsewhere, for Google fonts for example.
Furthermore the folder holds a normal OpenType font file, not encrypted, no
name mangling, perfectly able to be copied. I suppose one can say they are
'slightly hidden'.
Andrew

For practical matters: I'm not aware of any tool that offers convenient
extraction of PDF-embedded fonts, so I second your doubts about the
practicality there. But googling for a few seconds led me to
http://www.advogato.org/person/yosch/diary/150.html, where I read between the
lines that the synchronized fonts are stored in
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\skyfont-google\ on Windows. The folder
should be hidden, so you have to check the option to reveal hidden files. Since
I have no access to Skyfonts and/or a Windows machine, I can't verify - but
maybe you can. I assume the fonts there are not encrypted, since they seem to
be usable in default applications, but that maybe their names are mangled?
