Changing the font changes background color!

[Eric Plaster <plaster imageman com>]

Hello,
    I'm having a problem changing the font and the text
color for a widget.  I would like to be able to have
some items in a clist to be bold and some to not be.  I tried
this:

void ChangeFont(GtkWidget *widget)
{
GtkStyle *style;
 
style = gtk_widget_get_style(widget);
 _font = gdk_font_load(_ConstructFont());
 if(_font != NULL) {
    style->font = _font;
    for(int i=0; i<5; i++) {
        style->text[i] = TextColor();  // TextColor returns a GtkColor *
    }
    gtk_widget_set_style(widget, style);
    gtk_widget_ensure_style(widget);
}
}

But it screws up the background and foreground colors that are set with the gtk themes.  I even tried to
just set the style in the widget directly (just the stuff that I want changed) and nothing happened.  What am
I missing?
