The third argument is a Pango font description, but there is no way to
create new font descriptions in the version of clg.

This is one way to do it, but an alternative is to use resource files
(http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-Resource-Files.html) to
modify widget styles. In some cases RC files may even be a better
solution.

I will add some more bindings to make it possible to create font
descriptions, but it's getting a bit late today so that has to wait
until tomorrow :) In the mean time you could try to add 

(defbinding font-description-from-string () font-description
  (desc string))

to pango.lisp and use it to create font descriptions from strings.
