Ah, if only it were that simple... The underlying font rendering systems provided by all our host OS provide a variety of mechanisms for font substitution, so that if you ask for something "generic" such as "sans", the font renderer will select a font from those it has available, to use to draw your text. I can't think of any instance where that has actually been a font called sans.ttf... How the substiutuion is made, and whether you can determine the name of the *actual* font selected varies quite a lot from platform to platform, so if you ask a more detailed question, we *might* be able to advise you further. Or maybe not. In general, font handling is a hard problem.
