gtk_rc_set_default_files (empty_string_array) looks like it will
work. If not, putenv ("GTK_RC_FILES=") should work.

Of course you nuke any user settings in the RC files in addition to
the theme. (Themes are just RC files.)

The only font that's really guaranteed to exist is "fixed." GTK
doesn't install any fonts. GTK will fall back to "fixed" if necessary.
