The Xlib reference notes that the default value for the "font" field
of a GC is "<implementation dependent>" [scheifler p96].  Okay, but how
do I find out what it is?  All I need is a font id, but the obvious method:

	default_fid = (XQueryFont(dpy, my_gc_id))->fid;

doesn't work because, as the manual says, fid contains my_gc_id.

Is there any way to determine the font id of the default font?
