Description Paul Pogonyshev 2006-12-29 01:07:22 UTC 
Currently, font_name description says:

"Sets the font for a widget. font must be a Pango font name, e.g. "Sans Italic 10". For details about Pango font names, see pango_font_description_from_string()."

and that one says:

"...SIZE is an decimal number (size in points)."

It should be possible to specify size "larger than default" or "a little smaller than default."  Specifying absolute size will surely not work well with different themes and user preferences.  You can specify "<span size=\"x-large\">..." with Pango markup, but not in RC files.

(This is not filed against Pango, since there is [AFAIK] no default font size for Pango.)
