the problem is that my applications is not standard and I would like to 
hardcode it in gnumeric. Do you know where could this be done? 
gnome-font-properties didn't work for me I tried it but it seems to be 
ignoring it, I run the gnumeric application under chrooted environment and I 
send display to another X server, so I guess this is why it is not working.
