There are several differences at first sight. My problem was to print
the contents of a PangoLayout retrieved from a GtkTextLayout.
It seems (I might be wrong) that GtkTextLayout does not use
PANGO_ATTR_STRIKETHROUGH but some field in GtkTextAppearance to obtain
the same effect. I did not find a simple method to pass that to
gnome_print_pang_layout.
Another detail is that pango slants some fonts as Vera Serif for which
no slanted variant exist, but gnome_print_pango_layout does not.

Otherwise, your implementation is much better than mine. Thanks for your
work.
