Here’s a more windows centric approach and it foreaches through all the Windows fonts:
  ** It’s interesting that it says that it was last modified today…  odd, but whatever

from win32com.client.dynamic import Dispatch

ids = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,9,10,19,21,25,33,34,58,62,165,166,167,170,191,192,193,195,197,203,255]

shell_app = Dispatch('Shell.Application')
shell_app.Namespace('c:\\windows\\fonts')
folder = shell_app.Namespace('c:\\windows\\fonts')
myfile = ""

for font in folder.Items():
    print(font.Name)
    #if font.Name == "Verdana":
    #    break

    for num in ids:
        val = None
        val = folder.GetDetailsOf(font, num)
        item = folder.GetDetailsOf(None, num)
        if val:
            print("\t", num, f'{item} = {val}')

******************
partial output:
******************

         0 Name = Verdana
         1 Font style = Regular; Bold; Bold Italic; Italic
         2 Show/hide = Show
         3 Designed for = Latin; Greek; Cyrillic
         4 Category = Text
         5 Designer/foundry = Carter + Cone
         6 Font embeddability = Editable

Hi,

Is it possible to get the family name of a font and/or any other information from the naming table from a font file?

Something like that:
font = win32ui.loadFont(pathToTheFont)
familyName = font.getNameId(1)

Have a nice day
