# Method GTK2.Pango.FontDescription()->set_size()

Method set_size

  ``Pango.FontDescription` set_size(`int` `size`)`

Description

  Sets the size in fractional points. This is the size of the font in points, scaled by PANGO_SCALE. (That is, a size value of 10*PANGO_SCALE) is a 10 point font. The conversion factor between points and device units depends on system configuration and the output device. For screen display, a logical DPI of 96 is common, in which case a 10 point font corresponds to a 1o*(96.72) = 13.3 pixel font. Use set_absolute_size() if you need a particular size in device units.
