The GNU/Denemo music typesetter uses a custom font, called denemo.ttf You can look at its Makefiles for installation hints and src/utils.c for setting font load paths. It invokes this font by using gtk's markup language thus: /* markup the passed string to be in the denemo music font * caller must free the returned string */ gchar * music_font(gchar *str) { return g_strdup_printf("<span font_desc=\"Denemo 12\">%s</span>", str); } Where Denemo 12 is asking for denemo.ttf in 12pt. I have all this at my fingertips because I want to change it so that I don't have to switch fonts using markup, but instead use just one font for both regular text and music symbols. So I too need to know, how do you tell a gtk application to use a specific font for all the widget labels and other text which it would normally render in some default or use preferred font?
