Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately it doens't work correctly for me. I have following 2 problems:
1) I get a DeprecationWarning for the line.
2) No matter what fond and size I use, I get the same width.

Sample code:

        label = gtk.Label()
        name_font = pango.FontDescription("Times 10")
        label.modify_font(name_font)
        font = label.get_style().get_font()
        label2 = gtk.Label()
        name_font2 = pango.FontDescription("Sans Bold 12")
        label2.modify_font(name_font2)
        font2 = label2.get_style().get_font()
        print font.width("string"), font2.width("string")

I always get the same numbers. Is something wrong in my code?

Thank you
