Find font file from font name on Linux
I have a font with the name Media Gothic. How can I find the file name of that font in Linux? I need to copy that file to another system. I've tried:
find /usr/share/fonts/ -name '*media*'
But this gives no results. gothic gives some other fonts. TTF is a binary format so I can't use grep.
find fonts search file-search

How does this help locate the actual font file? The font file name might be (at best) a scrambled version of the actual font name.
