It's not so much the ATSUFontID as it is the font variations that you're
after, isn't it? If you have the base (plain) ATSUFontID, you can make an
ATSUStyle with it and then call something like ATSUGetAllFontVariations to
get information on the axis values you can change. Or you can call
ATSUCountFontVariations on the ATSUFontID directly to get the named
instances, which are probably the 9 different "families" you're seeing.
