I am not sure, honestly. You would probably have to dig into Pango
internals to find out, at least for GTK+.

I have gotten bug reports about some fonts not showing up...that could
be a fontconfig bug.

Yep, something like that should work. Honestly though, while I know a
bit about fontconfig, I am far from an expert :/
Given that Debian unstable is one of the first mainstream operating
systems to deploy GTK+2.2/fontconfig, I think all common idioms and such
haven't been figured out.
By the way, in my tests, once you've used the GNOME dialog to set the
GTK+ font, it will override the fontconfig default until you log out and
log back in. Basically gnome-settings-daemon will read the key from
GConf, and set the X property, which all GTK+ apps then pick up and use.

There is a man page.
