But it is exactly the way I thought we can define GNOME-wide
collection of standart fonts for use in canvas. That "some_widget"
whould be some sort of the storage for fonts. Then in gtkrc file you 
will put:

style "Gnome_Header1_style"
{
  font = "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
}

style "Gnome_Header2_style"
{
  font = "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
}

style "Gnome_Header3_style"
{
  font = "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
}

....

widget "*GnomeFonts*.Header1" style "Gnome_Header1_style"
widget "*GnomeFonts*.Header2" style "Gnome_Header2_style"
widget "*GnomeFonts*.Header3" style "Gnome_Header3_style"
...


When we discussed that in this list, Miguel said he wants to wait with
it till after 1.0
I also hope, someone might come up with a more elegant solution
