Loading application specific fonts

["Shepherd, Jason F" <jfsheph sandia gov>]

I've recently downloaded the gtk+ stable release and we have started using it for text layout in a 
cross-platform environment (including windows).  We would like to load an application-specific font to 
generate test images which are as close to identical as possible across all of the platforms.  What are the 
best options for accomplishing this? (We don't want to necessarily require users to have administrative 
privileges.)

Thanks,

Jason Shepherd
