Maybe you misunderstood me.  I can of course put an arbitrary size,
like 16 or whatever.  But what if user's main font size is 14?  For
him my header will look completely different than for a user with
standard base font size of 10.

I'll rephrase: can i achieve the same functionality with RC files
as with '<span size="larger">...</span>' Pango markup?
