I don't think there's an easy way to do this.

You may have to subclass GtkVScale or GtkHScale and override a few functions,
including the function to draw the value.
I'd use a continuous scale, say 0-100, and then to display it convert it to
your 'base', e.g. 0-12 -> 0.00-0.12, 13-25 -> 1.00-1.12 etc.
