I use "Gnome Font Viewer" to take a peek at .ttf files. In the header, the "name" and "style" fields are useful, they indicate the face_name expected by mapnik when concatenated.

Example: for FreeSans?.ttf, I can read "Name: FreeSans?" and "Style: Medium" in Gnome Font Viewer. The face_name attribute should be "FreeSans? Medium".
