GtkTextBuffer: Q: offsets to indicies?

["Janus N." Tøndering <janus bananus dk>]

Dear Sirs,

I am working on an application that passes the content of a
GtkTextBuffer to a function as a gchar array (using
gtk_text_buffer_get_slice). The function then returns ranges in the
gchar array that need coloring.

My problem is the handling of multibyte characters. I need to be able to
somehow convert an integer offset in the GtkTextBuffer into a index
(somthing a. la. gtk_text_buffer_get_iter_from_index). But I cannot find
such a function?

Maybe this should be done otherwise then?

Regards,
Janus N. Tøndering
