How about using fontconfig ? Even without using the API you can use it
to look for a font:
$ fc-match --verbose sans | awk '$1=="file:"'
        file: "/var/lib/defoma/fontconfig.d/D/DejaVu-Sans.ttf"(s)

Depending on fontconfig guarantees the "sans" and "serif" aliases will
be available, using DejaVu as the default.
