I have no idea what you mean with `declared name'.  You might have a
look into the demo program `ftdump' which prints some limited
information about the font.  If you want to extract the various fields
of the `name' table, look at the `FT_Get_Sfnt_Name_Count' and
`FT_Get_Sfnt_Name' functions.

Look at the demo programs `ftstring' and `ftview'.  Some simple code
can be also found in the FreeType tutorial.
