Set font size of label via script

+1 vote

I have a number (on a Label) that, depending on how many columns and rows my board has, I want to be able to set as a larger or smaller font size.

I know that we can use Dynamic Fonts now, so we don't need to import a font for each font size we want- but how do I modify the font size of a Label from code, so I can set the font size when the board is created?

get_node("path_your_label_node").get("custom_fonts/font").set_size(100)

...where 100 is your new font size

thank you jospic, I would have loved to do it the "getnode("pathyourlabelnode").get("customfonts/font").setsize(100)" way but that's ok. Thank you for your reply. Have fun!
