Then look inside the STY file! Once one knows the names of the Mac OS  
X system fonts it's easy to understand (or guess) what font  
environment the

	\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{gtamacbaskerville}
	\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{gtamacdidot}
	\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{gtamacgeorgia}
	\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{gtamachoefler}
	\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{gtamacosdidot}
	\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{gtamacoshoefler}
	\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{basoptima}
	\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{didoptima}
	\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{geoverdana}
	\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{gtamacfuturacondensed}
	\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{gtamacfutura}
	\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{gtamacgillsans}
	\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{gtamachelveticaneue}
	\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{gtamaclucidagrande}
	\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{gtamacoptima}
	\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{gtamacverdana}
	\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{hoegillsans}
	\renewcommand{\ttdefault}{gtamacamericantypewriter}
	\renewcommand{\ttdefault}{lmtt}

commands produce. The details of font variants used for roman,  
italic, bold etc. are then coded in FD files. These reference VF  
files that use TFM files to set up LYI, T1, or TS1 encoded TeX fonts.

In TCOBrowser or TeX Catalogue Online look for entries with font in  
the caption and you'll have listed those packages that handle fonts  
in TeX.
