Thanks, I'll look into using gtk_label_get_layout().

But on the suggestion to use gtk_label_set_markup, that's actually what I meant below when I said "with Pango meta formatting" (sorry, was working on something else and got the terminology confused, I meant markup formatting). From what I see of the Pango Markup language it doesn't seem to provide for formatting the layout, just for character formatting, or am I missing something?
