Having looked at those, I kinda miss the point -- can't you just get the
FontDescription, modify some fields, and put it back?
I really don't feel like bloating everything that renders strings with all
these properties.
BTW, wouldn't it be possible to implement these rendered-text-related
properties in one place and then re-use it in GtkLabel,
GtkCellRendererText and GnomeCanvasText?
