simplefonts hasn’t any fonts included (except latin modern),
it uses contexts font database to search for the requested font.
You can get information from the database on the command line,
e.g. a search for caliber on my system results in this:
rover:~ wolf$ mtxrun --script font --list --all calibri*
calibri calibri /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/Calibri.ttf
calibribold calibribold /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/Calibri Bold.ttf
calibribolditalic calibribolditalic /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/Calibri Bold Italic.ttf
calibriitalic calibriitalic /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/Calibri Italic.ttf
calibrinormal calibriitalic /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/Calibri Italic.ttf
