You're missing the right API :o) Basically this feature isn't implemented
in 2.0.4. I have however just commited a new function named
FT_Get_Postscript_Name to the CVS repository that returns what you
need and works with all font formats (except pure CFF/CEF fonts, but
this should be fixed quickly)..

Note that cron scripts are not installed yet on the new server, so you'll
need to use CVS to access the new code ("current" packages are not generated
yet on the FTP site), or wait for 2.0.5 that I'm currently packaging..

By the way, is anybody interested in Postscript Version/Notice strings
too ?? Does this deserve an API ??
