Got the solution was Re: [pygtk] A few quickies (IMPORTANT)
Ok here is the deal:
The text showing weirdly is realted to font choice as I discovered today. Using fixed
fonts corrected the problem.
It's weird as far as I am concerned but this is how it works.
As for the position part, it was my mistake as I also discovered today. I forgot to
count
newlines when scrolling to that position.
Anyway, your answer helped track down the bug and understand the color part, so thanks
a lot.

Hi,
I'm writing a tool for internal use. Anyway, I build up a GtkCTree
containing info and where to find that info in the file (the char
positions) on a text file that I display in a GtkText.
The goal is to be able to click on a tree node and "jump" to its place
in the text file. Grabbing the info and connecting to the selection
event goes normal, but there are some problems
I know GtkText is going to die, but for it's the only one I can use.
Anyway, I'll shoot my quickies:
1- For some unknown reason, insert_defaults(text) would change the
format of my text. Do you know why and how to prevent this? As far as I
guess, it has to do with empty spaces. And btw, there are no tabs in my
text file. I read the file using python and it prints ok (the read text)
on anything from terminal to emacs ... but not in the damn widget.
The other option would be to use the insert_text() method inherited from
the GtkEditable interface. It might work better for you.
2-When I use set_position (or the other one, can't remember) to jump, it
jumps ok for the top parts of the file but fails miserably later. I
think it may have to do with point 1. The crazy part is that it still
reports the correct position and when I print that part of the string on
Python nothing is wrong, but all is in the widget. Any help?
I don't know about this one.
3-What is a GdkColor? How can I get red, white, black ... and turn it
into a GdkColor?
A GdkColor represents a colour :). You can create colours with a
GdkColormap (such as the one returned by widget.get_colormap()). You just
call its alloc() method:
colour = cmap.alloc("red")
or:
colour = cmap.alloc(0x, 0, 0)
