Label text size in Glade

I've made one simple application launcher in Glade, added buttons, icons and used Vala for callback functions. Now, I'd like to make label text on those buttons a bit smaller, set them to have fixed size, but can't find how to do that. Any suggestions?

Re: Label text size in Glade

Use Pango Markup.

1) Get the Label from the Button (e.g. with button.get_child())
2) Make the Label use Markup (label.set_use_markup(True))
3) Use for example this as markup:
     

<small><tt>Your text here</tt></small>

If your text contains stuff like & you should use g_markup_escape_text() to escape it.
