For labels, it's actually not hard at all if you use Pango markup ;-)

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Gtk2 -init;
my $window = Gtk2::Window->new;
my $label = Gtk2::Label->new;
$label->set_markup ('<span face="courier"><big><big><b>Hello</b></ 
big></big></span>');
$window->add ($label);
$window->show_all;
Gtk2->main;
__END__


That doesn't help you for entries, but why are you wanting to change  
the font in an entry?
