The item corresponds to a chunk of the text, say, from start to end.  start is
what you want.  It's recorded in item->offset actually.

So this should work, if everything else is correct:

  Pango.GlyphItem vorn =  glyphitem.split ( text,
glyphitem.glyphs.log_clusters[gi.end_index] - glyphitem.item.offset)


You may want to check the source code in situations like this.
