[pygtk] Font size

Hi,

I would like to be able to change the font size of a specific widget; I
want it to use a font larger than the other one, whatever is the default
size (which I can set using .pygtkrc), or even the font name.

How can I do that?

I modify my widget font using:

    modify_font(pango.FontDescription("Arial 10 Bold"))

If I do that, the font is correctly changed using .pygtkrc. But I use,
say:

    modify_font(pango.FontDescription("Arial 16 Bold"))

then, this font is not  changed.

Why? How to solve that? I would like to be able to avoid the name of the
font here, and to be able to use a relative size...

Thanks,

--
