font-family refers to 'roman, 'sans, or 'typewriter, which are the fonts 
specified as part of the font tree.  You can technically define your own 
custom font family in addition to the standard three, but you only need 
to do this if you are using a font in many places and want to ensure 
consistency.  Otherwise, one-off font changes are best done specifying 
the font-name directly:

%%%%
\version "2.22.0"

\markup \left-column {
  \override #'(font-name . "IM FELL English")
  "IM FELL English, Regular"
  \override #'(font-name . "IM FELL English, Italic")
  "IM FELL English, Italic"
  \override #'(font-name . "IM FELL English SC")
  "IM FELL English SC"

  \override #'(font-name . "IM FELL French Canon")
  "IM FELL French Canon, Regular"
  \override #'(font-name . "IM FELL French Canon, Italic")
  "IM FELL French Canon, Italic"
  \override #'(font-name . "IM FELL French Canon SC")
  "IM FELL French Canon SC"

  \override #'(font-name . "IM FELL Great Primer")
  "IM FELL Great Primer, Regular"
  \override #'(font-name . "IM FELL Great Primer, Italic")
  "IM FELL Great Primer, Italic"
  \override #'(font-name . "IM FELL Great Primer SC")
  "IM FELL Great Primer SC"
}
%%%%

To your other question, the command-line option -dshow-available-fonts 
(see the usage documentation for details) will output all of the fonts 
LilyPond can see.
