For TTFs and TTCs (either with TrueType outlines or embedded CFFs) you
can use `ly:ttf-ps-name'.

Looking into lilypond's code, however, I don't see why this shouldn't
work for Type1 fonts (or even pure CFFs) also.  It's worth a try – and
if it works, we should provide an alias name for `ly:ttf-ps-name'.
