MS-Windows seems to report it in the data it holds about the font.
See the lfPitchAndFimily attribute in the LOGFONT structure:

  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/wingdi/ns-wingdi-logfontw

and the tmPitchAndFamily attribute of the TEXTMETRIC structure:

I have no idea how these attributes are determined by Windows.
