You'll need to be a bit more specific about what you mean by "font name". The PostScript name? Display name? Family name?

In any case, this is how you'd go about it:

NSString *postScriptName = 
             [(NSString *)CTFontCopyPostScriptName(fontRef) autorelease];
NSLog(@"postScriptName == %@", postScriptName);

CFStringRef and NSString are toll-free bridged (see Toll-Free Bridged Types).

read this http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Carbon/Reference/CTFontRef/Reference/reference.html

There are methods defined for example.

Getting Font Names
CTFontCopyPostScriptName
CTFontCopyFamilyName
CTFontCopyFullName
CTFontCopyDisplayName
CTFontCopyName
CTFontCopyLocalizedName
