Another way to change the font of a widget would be to get its
Pango::Context (using Gtk::Widget::get_pango_context()) and setting the
context's default font description.

Once the font has been changed, it should also be possible to get the
widget's current font description using the context.  The
get_pango_context() docs [1] implies that the context changes according
to the attributes set on the widget.
