What do you mean by ‘implementing Pango formatting'?  I suppose you are
not writing a Pango backend, i.e. you are not *implementing* any text
rendering yourself.

If you just want to use Pango to render Greek text, subscripts,
superscripts, Cyrillic, math symbols or whatever, use UTF-8:

GtkWidget *label = gtk_label_new("ἀπὸ τοῦ ἡλίου μετάστηθι");

or

GtkWidget *label = gtk_label_new("a² + b² = c²");

That's it.

Function gtk_label_set_markup() with Pango markup

    http://developer.gnome.org/pango/stable/PangoMarkupFormat.html

can be used for more complex indexes and exponents and other stuff in
labels.
