Re: How to set the font's size of the GtkLabel?

Hi Tomas,

You are certainly right The style method is more suited when you want to change additional properties like background color, etc. I stand corrected.

Ugh, that's complicated. An easier way is:

GtkLabel *label = gtk_label_new("");
gtk_label_set_markup(label, "<span font_desc=\"10.0\">This is a
label</span>");

See http://library.gnome.org/devel/pango/stable/PangoMarkupFormat.html
how to use the pango markup language.
