how to set the font in a menu item

[erik netscape com (Erik van der Poel)]

Hello,

I'm trying to programmatically set the font of a menu item. I tried the
following code:

  gtk_widget_ensure_style(mMenuItem);
  GtkStyle* style = gtk_style_copy(mMenuItem->style);
  gdk_font_unref (style->font);
  GdkFont* font = gdk_font_load("fixed");
  style->font = font;
  gdk_font_ref(style->font);
  gtk_widget_set_style(mMenuItem, style);
  gtk_style_unref(style);

But it doesn't work.

I also tried using an "RC" file, and that *does* work. Is there no way
to set the font programmatically? If there is a way, what is it?

Thanks,
