I am trying to change the font size of a GtkText widget by applying PangoAttribute and changing PangoAttrList. I am also using a GtkSpinButton to update the font size. But the problem is, when i click on the SpinButton, the font of the GtKText widget is not updating. After clicking the GtkSpinButton, i also need to click on the GtKText widget to update the font size.
I tried gtk_text_set_attributes function and it worked fine. But the problem is, RAM consumption increases with each click on the GtkSpinButton.
Can anybody check it please? Demo script Given below. Thank you.

Reset to default 1Is there any reason why you can't do this via CSS? That would be the way to do it. If there is any reason why you can't do it with CSS, you can use gtk_text_set_attributes, but each time you change the size, you should clear the contents of "attributes" and only then add the new contents. This will probably avoid increasing memory usage.
My proposal is as follows:
...
//(1)change font of GtkText by changing PangoAttrList
PangoAttrList *list = gtk_text_get_attributes ((GtkText *)user_data);
char *ch = pango_attr_list_to_string (list);
printf("PangoAttrList: %s\n", ch);
PangoAttribute *attrS = pango_attr_size_new (size * PANGO_SCALE);
pango_attr_list_change ((PangoAttrList *)list, attrS);
gtk_text_set_attributes((GtkText *)user_data,(PangoAttrList*)list); // new !!
...
// gtk_widget_queue_draw ((GtkWidget *)user_data); // unnecessary
...
Works with me without the additional memory needed.
Here again the complete script. With Ubuntu it works without any problems.

char *ch = pango_attr_list_to_string (list);
