Well, I'm not exactly sure how the widget names used in a .gtkrc-2.0
file are matched with the real widgets in an application(I should read
the docs to find out) but it is quite easy if you want to do it for all
GTK applications at once:
------snip-------
style "my_style"
{
	font_name="Bitstream Very Sans 7"
}
widget_class "*" style "my_style"
------snip-------
this is the first part of my .gtkrc-2.0.
You could replace widget_class ... by
widget "geany*" style "my_style" but as I told I'm not sure what we
have to do within Geany to let GTK recognise the widgets. Any pointers
are welcome.

Regards,
Enrico
