Consider gdk_draw_layout(), gdk_draw_layout_with_colors():
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gdk/gdk-Drawing-Primitives.html#gdk-draw-layout

You can look at gtk+-2.0 sources ("gtklabel.c", for example) or use smth 
like this:

void draw_text(GtkWidget *widget, gchar *s_utf8)
{
PangoLayout *layout;

   layout = pango_layout_new(gdk_pango_context_get());
   pango_layout_set_text(layout, s_utf8, -1);

   gdk_draw_layout(widget->window, widget->style->white_gc, 16,16, layout);

   g_object_unref(layout);
}
