This is the method I use:

PangoFontDescription *font_desc =
	pango_font_description_from_string(font_string);
GtkRcStyle *style = gtk_widget_get_modifier_style(label);
style -> font_desc = font_desc;
gtk_widget_modify_style(label, style);


You can get the font string from a Font Selection dialog or make on 
yourself. The format is at
