How to obtain System Fonts folder

Hi,

how can I retrieve the system fonts folder ?

or, better, from fontname how can I retrieve the font file complete path ?

For example, having a "Tahoma" fontname, I would like to get the complete
path of the file installed on the system ("c:\windows\fonts\tahoma.ttf").
Thanks
