I don't understand why you need to get the gtk-font-name property.
That is not part of my suggestion. Activities should never be
concerned with this property.

I don't understand your description or questions, sorry.  Perhaps you
could explain what you're trying to do. Eithre way, I get the feeling
that you are deviating from the guidelines I am proposing.
