Another hack for multiple fonts in a widget:

  GtkStyle *style;
  
  style = gtk_style_ref (widget->style);
  gtk_widget_set_name (widget, "Name1");
  a_font = gdk_font_ref (widget->style->font);
  
  gtk_widget_set_name (widget, "Name2");
  another_font = gdk_font_ref (widget->style->font);
  
  gtk_widget_set_style (widget, style);
  gtk_style_unref (style);

And you can use gdk_draw_string with a_font and another_font.

I used this hack to fix gnome-about.  Though it looks unusual, IMHO
this hack is the best solution with gtkrc's limited power.
