TeXShop in itself: none. The TeX i-Package: a number of fonts, as  
will reveal the contents of /Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/  
and /Library/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/fonts/.

The default, which is the TeX standard, is the Computer Modern fonts.  
But there are other possibilities:

- Clones, by URW, of the usual 35 LaserWriter fonts: Times,  
Helvetica, Courier, Avant Garde, Palatino, New Century Schoolbook,  
Zapf Chancery, Zapf Dingbats, Bookman, Symbol. See /Library/teTeX/ 
share/texmf.tetex/doc/fonts/urw/base35/README.base35. To use them,  
you need the PSNFSS package (see below).

- Some other free fonts: Charter, and Utopia with the matching  
Fourier math fonts. For Charter and Utopia, the PSNFSS package is  
also the way; for Fourier, see /Library/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/doc/ 
latex/fourier/fourier-doc-en.pdf.

- Some Apple OS X fonts, through the gtamacfonts package:  
Baskerville, Didot, Georgia, Hoefler Text, Futura, FuturaCondensed,  
GillSans, HelveticaNeue, LucidaGrande, Optima, Verdana and  
AmericanTypewriter. See /Library/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/doc/fonts/ 
gtamacfonts/gtamacfonts.pdf.

Samples of the above fonts, plus a very scholarly comparison of them,  
may be found at <http://www.pragma-ade.nl/specials/fonts/fontspecial- 
p.pdf>.

With the psnfss package /Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/latex/ 
psnfss/psnfss2e.pdf, you are able to use the Times fonts (slightly  
different from Times New Roman, but that won't really matter for most  
people). Try putting in your list of packages:

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage[scale=.92]{helvet}
\usepackage{courier}
