Ah, OK, yes, there's a much simpler technique.

Try something like this:

  txt = "some text to display";
  font = "sans 12";

  snprintf (button_text, 256,
     "<span font_desc=\"%s\" size=\"medium\">%s</span>",
     font, txt);
  gtk_label_set_markup (
    GTK_LABEL (gtk_bin_get_child (GTK_BIN (button))),
    button_text);

Assuming 'button' is a regular gtk button containing a label.
