Hmm..  I'm confused.  Yep, your solution's good also for ISO8859-2
charsets.

I can define thoese fonts.  There is a `dirty hack' for gnomecard-like
programs..  (Please open gnome-libs/libgnomeui/gnome-about.c and
search the string, `dirty hack'.  :)

        cardname_font = gdk_fontset_load (CARDNAME_FONTSET);
	title_font = gdk_fontset_load (TITLE_FONTSET);
	...

The above can be replaced like this:

        style_backup = gtk_style_ref (some_widget->style);

	gtk_widget_set_name (some_widget, "CardName");
        cardname_font = gdk_font_ref (some_widget->style->font);

	gtk_widget_set_name (some_widget, "CardName");
        cardname_font = gdk_font_ref (some_widget->style->font);
	...

	gtk_widget_set_style (some_widget, style_backup);
	gtk_style_unref (style_backup);

Yes, it's ugly and `dirty'.  But surely gtkrc can be used for
gnomecard.
