The hard way can be hacked using:
ins = gtk.GtkLabel()
s = ins.get_style()
s.font=gtk.load_font("-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1")
ins.set_style(ins)

I'm unsure of how to find out the XLFD string to start off with. I know
hardcoding sucks; one way to do this would be using rc styles and setting
the rc style dynamically. From my discussion with James on IRC, the XLFD
might not be obtainable at all from the GdkFont. At least I can't see how
you can.
Take care,
