SystemFont not finding user's installed fonts

- I have written a descriptive issue title

- I have verified if the problem exist in both
DEBUGandRELEASEmode - I have searched open and closed issues to ensure it has not already been reported
Description
On Windows when someone install a font without clicking “Install for all users”, the font will be installed in the folder “%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts” and not in “C:\Windows\Fonts”.
Steps to Reproduce
In this case, doing SystemFonts.Find("myfont"); will throw an error because it’s not searching in “%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts”
