The text widget apparently has support for multiple fonts (eg, XmNfontList
resource) which will be activated some time in the future. I once asked
one of the motif experts at ICS about that, and was told it was not currently
implemented. A reasonable alternative is the DrawingArea widget, which is
just a definition of an area in which you can put anything you want. The
Xlib services provide a comprehensive set of drawing "primitives", and the 
O'Reilly books provide what comes closest to useable documentation on these
features. I have worked all of this out if you are interested in any specifics.
