Unless you set GDK_ENABLE_XFT to 0 explicitely, you are using the
PangoXft backend then. Font configuration is done using fontconfig.
Please check the fontconfig user documentation at

 http://pdx.freedesktop.org/~fontconfig/fontconfig-user.html

You also mentioned that you are using GTK+-DirectFB. How fonts are
configured depends on what version of PangoFT2 you are using for
this. If you are using version 1.2, the font configuration is based on
fontconfig as well. If you are still using version 1.0 here, you
should have a look at bottom of the DirectFB FAQ:
