The button widget is actually a container (bin) widget that may have any
type of widget as it's child. When a button is created with a text
label, an implicit label widget is created as it's child. So to set the
font of a button it is actually the font of the child that has to be set:

(widget-modify-font (widget-child button) "Bitstream Charter bold 36")

Unfortunately, it gets rather complicated when the button contains both
a label and an icon (eg. a stock button), as the label is no longer a
direct child of the button. In those cases it is probably better to use
resource files.
