In general it's not possible, as both the Windows and OS X font systems operate by name, not stream (pyglet can provide the OS with additional font files, but the OS does not return back the names in those files). However, pyglet has an undocumented class pyglet.font.ttf.TrueTypeInfo which can read the TTF header; see TrueTypeInfo.get_names(). You might need to trial and error a little to get the appropriate name (I recall the OS does some mangling of the name; e.g. to turn "Courier Bold" into "Courier").
