Sample Code 512: How to change the font of some rows or columns in treeview?

Problem

This is a recent "trick" that I've found with regards to treeview.

I've showed you how to change the font size of the row contents in a treeview in How to change the font size in GtkTreeView - Part 2?

Suppose you only want to change the font of some of the rows. You want the rest of the rows to use the default font.

In this example, I'll show you how to specify the "default font" in a treeview.
