Thanks to everyone's replies.
I've actually found the Wikipedia, KB, and Font Book application combination is what I want.
I think (??) I would recommend someone using the Wikipedia/KB links to use them in conjunction with the Font Book application (and click on the information button (I feel stupid for not realizing it was there)) to get the PostScript name and Full name for these fonts (plus lots of other stuff like which languages it works in). From the documentation for NSFont's +fontWithName:size:
"The fontName is a fully specified family-face name, such as Helvetica-BoldOblique or Times-Roman"
it seems from the examples the API wants the PostScript name. Although, so far from all the tests I've done, +fontWithName:size: seems really forgiving regarding which name style I use.
