Attached is the pdffonts binary from xpdf which offers a more precise output. Since I compiled the binary on my machine its only x86_64.

In version , which I'm using under Snow Leopard, I finally figured out to use the "New Item" button. Then, rather than being able just to cite the Applescript file to use, I had to open the script in the Applescript editor (I presume any text editor would do, too) and then copy the script and paste it into the TeXShop Macro Editor's "Content" field, then Save it.
