modifying gtksettings on Windows

[Allin Cottrell <cottrell wfu edu>]

In my GTK app I like to give users the option of setting an 
app-specific font, and I do this via the following sort of 
thing:

GtkSettings *settings;

settings = gtk_settings_get_default();
g_object_set(G_OBJECT(settings), "gtk-font-name",
             appfont, NULL);

where "appfont" is a string specified by the user via 
GtkFontSelectionDialog.

This works fine on Linux and it used to work OK on Windows 
with GTK 2.14. But I recently updated to GTK 2.24.18 in my 
app's package for Windows, and the above code now has no 
effect. I guess this has something to do with the switch that 
made the MS-Windows theme the default, in gtksettings.c 
(2011-11-01). I can see it makes sense to default to the 
MS-Windows theme, but how do you change the font in that case?
