using a mac system font in TTF_OpenFont()

is there a way to pass for instance “Arial” WITHOUT having to include the Arial.ttf in my bundle ?

I would like the users to be able to pick any system font available on their computer

I’ve read as much as I could about NSFontManager and  this call :

	NSMutableArray * fontList = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithArray:[[NSFontManager sharedFontManager] availableFontFamilies]];


gives me a list of available fonts, but simply passing one of these strings to TTF_openFont won’t work since it isn’t a full path. And I have no idea how to figure out where each font of these families is stored (could be /Library/Fonts but also ~/Library/Fonts)

any hints ?
