You could use...
gtk_label_set_markup
Text Attribute Markup
...for changing color and for changing the font...

Code: (Plaintext)
1 2 3	fd = pango_font_description_from_string ("monospace 10"); gtk_widget_modify_font (label, fd); pango_font_description_free (fd);

See more about Pango and the pango_font_description_xxxx functions at Pango Fonts

If your using glade what you do is click the "use markup option" in the right side panel then look on the right side panel for the label entry and you will see a textbox in this textbox you could do something like this.

Code: (Plaintext)
1	<span size="13000" weight="bold" foreground="red">Hello, World</span>

This is what the label would look like.
Hello, World
