Allin Cottrell has written code to do exactly this, see: http://www.ecn.wfu.edu/~cottrell/gtk_win32/#winfont The code works fine in it's GTK1 version, but the GTK2 version fails (at least on my Win XP machine), although Allin reported that it works on his systems (Win 98 and XP) ok.This probably belongs in your GTK theme, not in your application. I know I tried to do something like this when I was writing gtk-nativewin (now part of gtk-wimp: http://gtk-wimp.sourceforge.net/). Looking at their screenshots, it appears they actually may use Windows fonts already.
I'm using Gaim and The Gimp (2.0pre) on windows 2000 with the gtk-wimp theme and it works really well. I've only had two problems so far. First, if you change color schemes (as close as non-xp windows versions get to application theming) while a gtk-wimp application is running, it won't update with the new colors. Second, gaim has a list in its configuration dialog where you can choose what kind of smiley theme you want (tiny icons to replace :), ;-), :(, etc...), and it's very hard to read the currently selected theme's information. I'm not sure if this is specific to my machine or a bug in gtk-wimp. You can get gaim with or without gtk (for a smaller download if you already have gtk installed). You might want to look at their installer that includes gtk since it installs and configures the wimp theme without any user intervention. hth
