If you know the name of the font you could use find_directory() to
look in the font directories for it:
B_BEOS_FONTS_DIRECTORY
B_USER_FONTS_DIRECTORY
B_COMMON_FONTS_DIRECTORY
B_SYSTEM_FONTS_DIRECTORY
Or if in a bash script you could use finddir. To see a list of the
dirs it knows type type finddir -l
Perhaps others know a better solutuion for finding a specific font?
