On Debian, you can try: fc-list : family to list the family name. I was playing with this last night on my Debian Jessie system.
The colon is a wildcard operator that will match all fonts on the system. I usually just grep the results for what I need.
Of all the ways to find out the family name that has been discussed in this thread, this is one of the quickest ones. Thanks, I'll use it! Sandra
