Get PostScript font name

I know you can return the font face with

layer.textItem.font

That'll give you "Arial-BoldMT", but I'm after "Arial Bold"; which is the postscript font name

Is there no way to get the postscript font name without having to loop over app.fonts and match the font name and cross reference it to the postscript one?

Cheers

When I loop on app.fonts, Arial gives me 3 properties:

Family:

Arial

Name:

Arial Bold

PostScript Name:

Arial-BoldMT

The layer.textItem.font gets always the property postScriptName and not the name

    M3rde. I've got my font names and postscript font names mixed up! That clears that problem up.
