AFAIK, you do need to use the Postscript name, and the names are case sensitive. Also, the FontMap addition to the standalone builder allows you to define how a custom installed font name used in your stack maps to the font name on a device. And I may be mistaken but I believe the LiveCode folks have taken care of the default font mappings already (I believe Mark W commented on this some time back).
Not sure if this was introduced after 6.7.6 however.
