How do i get default values for Colors and Fonts in my widgets?

[Lothar Scholz <llothar web de>]

Hello gtk-list,

I want to write a special text editor widget.

How can i get the default themeed colors to use for texts,
selected text and background and which are the users default
fonts (i see that GNOME does define 5 special system fonts
for this purpose).

Windows and Cocoa both give me dozens of system values.

I found the GtkStyle class but this doesn't seem to be what i need.
