Explanation
- The line with
modify_font() sets the font of the label to "Eras Demi ITC" and font size to 48.
- You can just change the font size, without specifying the font name, e.g.
modify_font(new PangoFontDescription('48'))
- I'm using php-gtk2 on winXP. For windows, you can get the names of the fonts in the fonts directory (usually it's c:\windows\fonts). E.g. you can use 'Times New Roman', 'Times New Roman Italic', 'Tahoma', 'Trebuchet MS Bold', etc. Just use the font names as it appears in that folder.
- I think it should be quite similar for Linux and Mac. If you're on this platform, maybe you could let me know if it works.
