Re: How to in GTK3 set global default text size?

[Igor Chetverovod <chetverovod gmail com>]

Hello, Emmanuele!

In the  installation sequence for windows there is a trap - msys2 version
for WinXP(my application is using this OS)  is not  more provided.  So, I
can install only GTK3.6 version which was provided Tarnyko ( thanks to
him!) (http://www.tarnyko.net/dl/gtk.htm).

Thank you, I will try GtkSettings.

Best regards,
Igor
