Hopefully, one of these will help.

#pragma mark - Font Util
//

- (void)dumpFonts {
    for (NSString* family in [UIFont familyNames])   {
        NSLog(@"Font Family = %@", family);
        for (NSString* name in [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName: family])   {
            NSLog(@"Font Name = %@", name);
        }
    }
}

// Ye olde schoole codee
- (void)dumpFontsx {
    // List all fonts on iPhone
    NSArray *familyNames = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:[UIFont familyNames]];
    NSArray *fontNames;
    NSInteger indFamily, indFont;
    for (indFamily=0; indFamily<[familyNames count]; ++indFamily)
    {
        NSLog(@"Family name: %@", [familyNames objectAtIndex:indFamily]);
        fontNames = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:
                     [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:
                      [familyNames objectAtIndex:indFamily]]];
        for (indFont=0; indFont<[fontNames count]; ++indFont)
        {
            NSLog(@"    Font name: %@", [fontNames objectAtIndex:indFont]);
        }
    }
}
