Hey,

you can convert the font string with pango_font_description_from_string
and then obtain the size easily. I would however also think the font
button should provide API for that. Ideally it were a GtkFontSelection
but unfortunately that's not the case.

 And, how could I get the font string of the currently selected font in the gtkfontbutton? to pass it to pango_font_description_from_string later...
