One of the most common questions I get when working with clients on iPhone apps is this one:
Which fonts can I use in iPhone apps?
I was surprised to see that the Xcode documentation does not bring a list of the fonts available in the iPhone OS (have I missed it? Is it somewhere else?), and I was happy to find this blog post the other day. Taking his idea as a basis, I’ve created a font browser for the iPhone which I’ve published in the projects section of this blog.
Feel free to play with the code! As usual, no warranties of any kind, but I’m already using it every day :)

Wow thanks - I was looking for that information for a long time too!

I’ve just found a Daring Fireball entry in which Gruber explains the fonts included in the iPhone OS and their relationship with their Mac OS X siblings…
