Replying to my own question here, just in case any one else needs to
know this. Here's how you can change the font:

PangoContext* pc = gtk_widget_get_pango_context(gtkText);
PangoFontDescription *desc = pango_context_get_font_description(pc);

pango_font_description_set_family(desc, "Serif");
gtk_widget_modify_font(gtkText, desc);

Our problem was we were using gtk_widget_create_pango_context, rather
than gtk_widget_get_pango_context. Not sure why it used to work...
