Different System Fonts in Tiger, Panther, etc.

Apple uses slightly different system fonts with each revision in OS X.  I
have a table of NSTextFields that looks very nice in Tiger, but I forgot to
leave extra space because in Panther the same text at the same font size,
using the "system" font, takes up more space.

Of course, I could reverse-engineer and experimenetally find a font which
will be Tiger-size in Panther and then setFont: of all my text fields.  But
before I spend an hour doing something which is so pathetically stupid, does
anyone know is there a "right" way to do this?
