 This has several possible answers, depending on what exactly you want to 
 achieve. One option is gtk_widget_modify_font(). Note that this function 
 can be used to change only the font size, as in the following example:
-<programlisting>
+<informalexample><programlisting>
  PangoFontDesc *font_desc = pango_font_description_new (<!-- -->);
  pango_font_description_set_size (font_desc, 40);
  gtk_widget_modify_font (widget, font);
  pango_font_description_free (font_desc);
-</programlisting>

 If you want to make the text of a label larger, you can use 
 gtk_label_set_markup():
-<programlisting>
+<informalexample><programlisting>
 gtk_label_set_markup (label, "&lt;big&gt;big text&lt;/big&gt;");
-</programlisting>
+</programlisting></informalexample>
 This is preferred for many apps because it's a relative size to the 
 user's chosen font size. See g_markup_escape_text() if you are 
 constructing such strings on the fly.
