I wouldn't be surprised either... however, to change the font size, do
not use Styl,e as you are not changing the Style; change the font using
the font size button at the bottom of the text screen.

You may be better off learning how to use/modify labels via
OpenOffice.org; but lacking that, if you bring up the help for glabels
you'll find it contains full documentation. Otherwise bug reports are here:
