Hi,

that will make the option in the size combobox to be 48, but doesn't
change the size in the canvas. For changing the font size in the
canvas this should work:

self.abiword_canvas.set_font_size('48')

You can place this line in __map_event_cb in AbiwordActivity.py.

Though, in this case it may be better to set the zoom size. You can do
that with:

self.abiword_canvas.set_zoom_percentage(400)

Hope that helps,

Tomeu
