Well I did some research and the GTK way of doing it is really very simple, except that the method (modify_font) doesn´t seem to exist in PGTKWidget which I surmise is because the definition of THAT is taken from the GTK1 definition. According to the GTK2 docs, all GTK2 widgets derive from GTKWidget and should inherrit modify_font which can set any pangoFontDescription, the only remaining part is to convert a tfont TO a PangoFontDescription (well PPangoFontDescription actually).
So the RIGHT way I believe is to enable the method, presumably by descending PGTKWidget to create PGTK2Widget (oddly TGK2Widget exists but TGKWidget does not) - which may have the inadvertent side effect of meaning that damn near every bit of GTK needs to have it´s type definitions altered to call and use the derived class, either that or GTK2 should simply overWRITE the PGTKWidget definition with it´s own version that enables the GTK2 specific features.
