You can find an HTML version of the DSSSL standard at
ftp://ftp.ornl.gov/pub/sgml/WG8/DSSSL/html.zip.  You'll find that in
section 12.6.11:

| font-posture: is either #f, indicating that any posture is acceptable,
| or one of the symbols not-applicable, upright, oblique,
| back-slanted-oblique, italic, or back-slanted-italic, giving the
| posture property of the desired font resource. The initial value is
| upright. In addition, the value math is allowed specifying that the
| font posture shall be the value of the math-font-posture:
| characteristic.
| 
| font-name: is either #f, indicating that any font name is acceptable,
| or a string which is the public identifier for the font name property
| of the desired font resource. When the value is a string, the values
| of the font-family-name:, font-weight:, font-posture:,
| font-structure:, and font-proportionate-width: characteristics are not
| used in font selection. The initial value is #f.
| 
| font-family-name: is either #f, indicating that any font family is
| acceptable, or a string giving the font family name property of the
| desired font resource. The initial value is iso-serif.  NOTE 81:
| ISO/IEC 10180 defines a mandatory font set for interchange comprising
| the font families iso-serif, iso-sanserif, and iso-monospace


Otherwise, the available font names depend on those available to your
backend.
