Which is nice and all, except that I need tiny letters. Not only that, but I don't believe you can even get out of that mode for outputting with g_text(). I tried sending values for font of -10 thru 15 and they all put you in big mode and none takes you out! IT must be possible though, I mean they are there in the icons in desktop, right???
