Try doing the following:
1) Create a new Text style cell.
2) Click on the the new cell's bracket.
3) Click on the front end menu Format -> Font -> <desired font>
4) Click on the front end menu command Format -> Show Expression
You should now see the underlying Mathematica expression in the
cell. There should be an option named FontFamily that has the value that
corresponds to the name of the font you seek.
If using that value does not give appropriate results, please let me know.
