Look at the docs for gdk_window_get_internal_paint_info()

> What can i do to render the text directly by pango API ????

If you are using it in a GTK+ program, just use gdk_draw_layout(),
it's the same as using the low level calls but:

 - Takes care of drawing to the right target; it knows about
   double buffering.
 - It uses the right backend - pango_xft_render(), pango_win32_render()
   or whatever is appropriate.
 - It creates the XftDraw automatically.
