Add source attribute to set font size

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The color is nice. Maybe we could have an additional source attribute to set 
font size. Something like font-size="18".

That would allow an important arc to be 

a -> b [label="sys error", textcolor="red", font-size="18"]

It should be straight forward for svg, I don't know about the other formats.

I dont know how to make this an enhancement request and not a defect. Sorry for 
my ignorance.

Hi

Don't worry about the enhancement vs. defect part. We do not have an 
"enhancement" issue template, so there is much you could have done here about 
that. :)

Hi,

Thanks for the request.

I don't think there is a problem supporting this except in the case of PNG 
output when configured without FreeType support.  FreeType produces better 
output and is what I want to use by default, and I think pretty much works on 
all platforms.  If fontsize is specified and there's no FreeType I can probably 
just print a warning in anycase.

I'll look to put this in the next release.

Thank you. This program is something I have been looking for for a while. It is 
simple to use and does a simple job well. Drawing these diagrams by hand is a 
pain in the butt.

You have made a great contribution to the Free-libre eco-system.
