GtkBuilder lets you set pango attributes directly, Glade lets you
apply the attributes in a dialog.

The main advantage to this is that translators are generally
annoyed by developers leaving markup in strings to translate.

But ofcourse.. *cough*, you are not using GtkBuilder... or
a recent version of Glade.
