It's done with xsettings. The property name is Gtk/FontName. All GTK+
apps automatically listen for it (see gdk/x11/gdksettings.c in GTK+
source code as a starting point).

In GNOME, gnome-settings-daemon watches the gconf key for changes and
then generates xsettings/XChangeProperty calls once a change is
detected.

I've now finished the feature page for this:
