Maybe not everybody is familiar with the GTK 3.20 application10
example, so I should mention that this code is used there:

  tag = gtk_text_buffer_create_tag (buffer, NULL, NULL);
  g_settings_bind (priv->settings, "font",
                   tag, "font",
                   G_SETTINGS_BIND_DEFAULT);

  gtk_text_buffer_get_start_iter (buffer, &start_iter);
  gtk_text_buffer_get_end_iter (buffer, &end_iter);
  gtk_text_buffer_apply_tag (buffer, tag, &start_iter, &end_iter);

So user can use the font chooser dialog, and font is applied to the
buffer automatically. Of course there may exist other ways to set font
for a buffer.
