  Use GtkLabel. All widgets in Gtk use pango, so you don't need to use
it directly. If pango doesn't work for you, that's a different story.
Maybe you don't have suitable font installed for the text you want to
display... If you use gtk-2.2, remember to register all your fonts with
fontconfig.

  Oops, did you say urgent? Sorry for de delay!
