Oops, if you talk about GTK2, all text should be in UTF-8 (this is 
UNICODE character encoding scheme), dig about at:
http://www.unicode.org

If you want to convert text from one encoding to another use 'iconv' 
utility ('man iconv') or GLib API:

GtkTextBuffer doesnt relate to GtkLabel. Anyway, you can use Pango 
Markup language for this:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/pango/PangoMarkupFormat.html
Also look at (how to set marked string into the label):
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-set-markup
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-set-use-markup
