Get font face from ttf file

Question

In my iOS app I use custom fonts, dynamically loaded from files.

To use them in code, I need to know loaded fonts' families. So, is there any way to do it?

UPDATE:

I can't somehow hardcode font families, cause my app loads it from server. Of course, there is a way to pass font families in server response, but for now I'm looking for a better version that doesn't influence the server (doesn't need to change it).

Font loading I did...

NSData *fontData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filePath];
if (fontData) {
    // create font from loaded data and get it's postscript name
    CGDataProviderRef fontDataProvider = CGDataProviderCreateWithCFData((CFDataRef)fontData);
    CGFontRef loadedFont = CGFontCreateWithDataProvider(fontDataProvider);
    NSString *postScriptName = (NSString *)CGFontCopyPostScriptName(loadedFont);

    // if the font with same postscript name wasn't already registered - do it
    if (postScriptName && ![UIFont fontWithName:postScriptName size:10]) {
        NSError *error;
        if (!CTFontManagerRegisterGraphicsFont(loadedFont, (CFErrorRef *)&error)) {
            NSLog(@"Can't load font: %@", error);
        }
    }

    CGFontRelease(loadedFont);
    CGDataProviderRelease(fontDataProvider);
}
