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.
