It's easy as:

label->modify_font(Pango::FontDescription("Bitstream Vera 10"));


or You can create an object of type Pango::FontDescription with:

Pango::FontDescription pfd;
pfd.set_family("sans 10");
pfd.set_style(Pango::STYLE_ITALIC);

and after that
 
label->modify_font(pfd);


You should read the Pango namespace reference manual.
