Adding the complete name also seems to work (as above), though it can
get a little clunky:

\renewcommand{\LettrineFontHook}{\fontspec{Adobe Jenson Pro Semibold
Italic Display}}

...and so on. The trick seems to be (on Linux, anyway) to expand the
filename from its abbreviations and use a capitalized written form. So:

AJensonPro-SemiboldSubh --> Adobe Jenson Pro Semibold Subhead

Cheers.
