Ok, I found a solution. Here's what I did:
tv = self.textview
context = tv.get_pango_context()
metrics = context.get_metrics(tv.style.font_desc,
context.get_language())
width = pango.PIXELS(metrics.get_approximate_digit_width()*81)
height = pango.PIXELS(
(metrics.get_ascent() + metrics.get_descent())*30)
self.window_main.set_default_size(width, height)
Have a good day,
Noam
