You said on your first post that you were a newcomer to GTK, frankly
if so you shouldn't be worrying about using low level libraries like
pango, you are just making your life hard!!!

Use the GTK+ widgets, see http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/

In over 10 years I've only ever needed to use such a low level library
once, and then it was a mistake :-)

If you really want to do this did you read the above link? see
pango_layout_set_font_description().  Again I say look at the basic
GTK+ library, it will do nearly everything you want much easier than
playing around with Pango rendering.
