I am searching the right way to find fonts folder for each platforms

On Windows it's generally "C:\Windows\Fonts" but a direct access seems
brutal, it's certainly expected to retrieve this path by using some
register keys?
Is someone know how it works for linux and/or macOS X?
I need to be able to retrieve fastest as possible the right file from
the font and family name.
The paths used for fonts on Mac OS X are the ones listed in this table:

To programmatically work with fonts, have a look at these API's:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Carbon/Reference/CTFontRef/Reference/reference.html
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Reference/CGFont/Reference/reference.html
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/TextFonts/Conceptual/CocoaTextArchitecture/FontHandling/FontHandling.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009459-CH5-SW1
That last link describes an Objective-C API.
